Not speaking for HOSEF, I can heartily reccomend the 3Com SuperStack series if 
you want a larger, managed switch.  They are significantly cheaper than 
comparable Cisco products, and come with most of the features you'd need for a 
smaller (non-corporate) installation.

I personally have a SuperStack II 3300 (24 ports) at home, and I love it.  I can 
easily move 16MB/sec (full duplex, 100Mbit, one comp with a good NIC talking to 
two comps with crummy NICs) over a single port on it.  It's been very reliable, 
despite the partial failure of one fan.
