Linksys Network in a Box (5-port 10/100 switch + 2 NICs) possibly ~$40 after rebate

[Pete]

Depending on how much they add for shipping. I've heard a lot of people get CSRs who don't bother tacking it on. I haven't done this myself, so I'm not sure if it'll work--just giving all of you a heads up.

CompUSA has it for $80

Staples has it for $120

PM, add $25/$75 coupon, and after $15 off rebate it's $40 + tax.

Hope this works for you.

Is is the one Office Depot is selling for $29.88?

No, not the same one. This is the switched version. I have it, adn it's fantastic.

However, I don't know ANYONE who has ever pricematched with staples, and not had them go through the next-day-shipping business. I've tried price matching dozens of times, and with about a 5% success rate. So I wouldn't assume this is a done deal.

Well the 2 I have right here next to me, that I bought at OfficeMax for $19.99, both contain switching hubs, according to the box's. And $4.99=tax after the $15 rebate

xraymongrel, I think the box says '1 switched port' which is the uplink port. It's a hub; not a switch. I was excited when I saw 'switch port,' on the side of the box, but it turned out to be only one port is switched.

 

[MontyBurns]

cbass is right. A switched hub is much faster, but if you're just looking to share files, the OD deal just can't be beat.
