You can monitor bandwidth with http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ .It takes some configuration and an understanding of SNMP to monitor and graph other variables such as input/output errors, dropped packets, CPU load, but they all can be done. Best of all its free and runs great on linux.
I think the best cheap monitoring software is http://solarwinds.net . They let you download a trial.
