Wes,
Have you managed to test the switch and if so how did it do ? I have a

Yes. I bought two FS-105's, one for me and one for a co-worker. CompUSA
had a $20 rebate on them from 12/26 - 1/1, making them $99.

something like this (which is fine...), but I was wondering how
much one has to fork out before you get extra options like a
port-mirroring capability...
You usually find this capability on managed switches (fairly obvious,
since you need a management interface to configure port mirroring).
On the topic of switches...
Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with the CNet
CNSH-1601 or CNSH-2401? Those are unmanaged 19" switches
(10/100) with 16 and 24 ports, respectively, and a
100BaseFX (fibre) uplink port. And they're suspiciously
cheap over here [1].

Most of these can be attributed to the crappy wall wart they call a

power supply they generally hold up a lot better.
