I’ve been using one of these for a few years. Prices have gone up drastically, but they are still just about the cheapest solid infra you can get at home and fully license (they use the honor system for licensing).<p>The ICX7150-C12P is nice, but it needs some airflow as they are known to die if they run hot. It’s an issue with the power supply and repairable, but easier to just make sure they are cooled a little.
Seems to be a fair amount of recent interest in 10gbE home networking. I bought a Brocade ICX6450 based on this thread with 24 Poe+ ports and 4 SFP+ ports for about $100 on eBay with free shipping - it works amazingly well and powers my entire home network.<p>Bit of a learning curve, but I found the CLI interface to be similar enough to Junos, which I learned while managing EX switches.
