So far the HP ProCurve 4000m is looking pretty good. A pair of half-populated units (J4121A) is less than the price of a fully populated one. CDW has them for US$45.72/port. (Due to a HP promotion currently running.) VLAN (802.1q), IGMP, monitor port, SNMP, stackable, CoS stuff, &c. GbE ports (SX, LX, and 1000Base-T) are available for it. Some limitations, e.g., 8 MAC's per port in secure mode.
40 ports, $1829.... *WAY* overkill. We only need maybe 8 ports max! -Dan
