Out of all the switches i have - I have to say that the Netgear stuff runs hot! I have to put a PII heatsink on it! - even though it has vent slots around it - it does got hot during the summer, and just nice and warm during the winter.
It has link lights for all ports, and FDX lights for all ports too. ACtivity lights/collision you name it it has it.
It has lots of lights for everything - so you know exactly whats being used on you entire network. It also has a 'auto HDX/FDX' switch at the back which I find very useful.
There are cheaper switches, though they won't be made out of metal - like the netgear stuff - it'll be made out of cheap plastic.
customer support is good - PSU died on me - but they did manage to ship a replacement within a couple of weeks from the US.
