I'd be happy to.  And then I'd give it back.  I already have an 8-port GB
switch that I don't really use.

Roughly, there's:
* Enterprise-grade kit (Cisco Catalyst series, HP Procurve series) that
  gets used for billable services - runs for years at a time.
* Second tier stuff (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link) that might be rebadged
  no-name gear - if downtime matters, buy a spare.
* No-name gear (Dynex, Lucky Double Pigeon Brand) - treat as a fire hazard.
