Try picking up a 3com 3c17205 (4400 PWR) 24 port switch...it'll cost you a
couple of bucks more but has POE built in and if you use the NJ200 (there's
a guy selling boxes of 20 NJ200's on Ebay for $750 but he's got a lot so
you can get him down to about $575) or NJ220 wall jacks (DONT GET THE NJ95,NJ100
or NJ105) it gives you tremendous flexibility, the NJ's are a proper managed
4 port switch in themselves and have built in QoS priority and the 4400 forwards
POE to them and they forward it to the device).
I managed to pick up some new 3c17205's for about $400 on Ebay (although
they're scarce at the moment) and just finished wiring up my flat with the
whole shebang....means I've got phone points and network points everywhere
in a single device and don't have to worry about power points.
Have fun.
