I will agree the cisco 3750's are awesome for the feature set and price, but the form factor is just not there for me. They can not be remotely powered by POE input, and the only the 24 count units and higher have SFP and GIG-e ports. The 12 port versions are all SFP's only. Yes, I am aware there are copper SFP's, but that adds to cost. These switches would require a larger case, take up more power, and space. I don't think this is an valid option for this environment.
