HP's ProCurve series are a bit on the steep side, though they come with lifetime warranty, got two 2524 (managed) 10/100 and I haven't seen any issues with them so far
I looked at some HP 2626 which seem like quite nice switches (management interface seems fairly intelligently designed and uses OpenSSH), but the 1U fans would be very noisy for a home (or small office).
It seems fairly rare to find sound levels on spec sheets for much 19" kit, probably on the basis it's likely to be used in a machine room. If anyone is thinking of using it where noise might be a problem, try and check before committing to buying...
