I started this other similar question:
Gigabit Switch Recommendation for Home/Small Office
But i think maybe is important to mention the use that i will give to my GIGABIT equipment.
I use 3ds Max, and all the files needed to work on each project (textures, models, etc,) will be stored on a gigabit NAS.
One Computer will work as my Workstation, and 2 or 3 other computers will work as RENDER NODES, where they receive the rendering task from my computer, and they pull the textures, and other needed files from the NAS in order to render the images...
So, which is an affordable reliable GIGABIT SWITCH that you recommend for this kind of SCENARIO? (Still the same models recommended on the other question?)
