Sure, your place is idle for that....
all the machine are close, in a single floor.

Depends on the cabling requirement on your site.
If free run cable is acceptable. The cost is low.
If conduit and pipe work is a must. Then Wireless may be a cheaper solution.
> If we have to stay wired, what switch would you recommend?
If you don't need VLAN and VLAN routing. I suggest Catalyst 6509.
If you need VLAN and VLAN routing, I suggest you not to use Cisco.
Let's try Extreme or Foundry
> Does wireless really only go up to 11MB?
For a 802.11 Wireless LAN, yes. but in a limit distant only. And it must be an open
area. Not block by wall.
If the env is not idel. It will step down to 5MB, 2MB then 1MB.
