Hi Guys,

I have just about finished pulling in all of the Cat5 cable in my new house, there are 16 points in total (not too over the top in a 3 bed place!) it is all wired back to a central point on the ground floor, where there will be a small comms cab (12U), 2 PC's (HTPC/media stuff and CCTV server) and all the other network and HiFi stuff.

In the past I have made do with what networking stuff I could afford at the time, I have never been happy with it, so this time I want a nice solution, I am looking to buy a 19" Rack Mount Switch and some sort of NAS and print server (already have one of those but it would be nice to find an all in one solution).

I have my eye on a few things, but I could really do with a few opinions before I jump in I know we have a few network experts on here, so here we go...

Switch short list - Linksys SRW224 or Netgear SF526T

NAS Short List - Linksys NSLU2 or Buffalo LinkStation

These are at the max of my budget, in fact they are going on the plastic, but it is getting really messy here and I want to get up and running ASAP.

Cheers

Cris.
