That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it :-)
And a gigabit switch isn't overkill, a 16U rack, now that's overkill...

Damn that's a good offer!
I just bought one.
When I first looked it said £159, then I found if you look in the Small Business section it has the offer.
Thanks for everybodys advice

No, really, they often have the 16-port gigabit web managed switch for a stupidly low price, usually less than their 8-port one. I think mine was £87
Is it fanned? I had a nice managed 100baseT switch with GigE uplink ports on it in my study, but it was too noisy so I replaced it with a basic 100baseT switch that didn't have any fans.
