and i mean that litterally!

Out of all the hubs have - I have to say that the Netgear stuff runs hot! I have to put a couple of 486 heatsinks on it! - it doesn't have vent slots like the FS108 - shame as it does got hot during the summer, and just nice and warm during the winter.

It has link lights for all ports (10/100) and the best of all, individual utilisation bar graphs for 10/100 and collision.

There are cheaper hubs, though they won't be made out of metal - like the netgear stuff - it'll be made out of cheap plastic.
