I recently had my house wired with cat 6 and had a d-link 8 port switch I got on sale from dell for $20. Of course, the piece of white plastic shit didn't work right out of the box.
So I went to staples and got a d-link 16 port rack mount with internal fan and metal case and it works great. Of course it cost about $160 more.
I think a lot of times you can just look at a product and tell it is going to suck. That little 8 port "green" switch just looked like junk right from the get go. That's what I get for trying to be cheap and buying a product that's main selling point is that it will save you money on your hydro bill.
