Works fine, is quiet, cool and cheap. Although its perhaps not the prettiest switch in the world. I copy some large files between a couple of PCs every now and then and throughput is fine. I dont get to max out the switch as the disks in the PCs cant pump the data fast enough.
http://www.pricespy.co.nz/cat_18.html#g41 is a good place to start, if you just want a basic switch then I would go for the cheapest one you can find, there isnt really much to them so going for the top of the line models arent going to give most users any advantages.
I have a Cisco 2950G which is an old model but is way over-kill for most people, I use it because I have it separated into 3 vlans, so I bascially have three totally separate switches (one for LNA, one for DMZ and one for WIFI)
