Hi all, I think we covered this a little while ago, but don't recall the outcome.
I have been using a cheap netgear 8 port 10/100 switch at home for ages (no fan=quiet) and it goes ok. Recently, I have swapped out the netgear for the CAT5K from my lab. I am using it for CIT study and also because I was having intermittent problems with my file server (I work from home a lot). I found lots of runts and bad fcs on the port that the file server was plugged into, so splashed out on ebay for a decent NIC (#6.99 for a 3C905B-TX!!) and replaced the realtek sh**ter with the 3COM card. No more runts or bad FCS. Anyway, my point is that I would like to keep a managed switch for my LAN, but obviously the CAT5K is a bit noisy (and OTT), I have a 2912 but that sounds like a small jet aircraft. Anyone know of a quiet and small switch, or a way to quieten the fans in the 2900 series switches. Has anyone successfully ran a 2900 with some of the fans unplugged?
