Here's what i paid for linksys and 3com stuff:
Linksys 8port 100MBit Switch: $130 (in the summer)
Linksys 8port 100MBit Hub: $80 (in the summer)
Linksys 100Mbit Nic: $20 (in the summer)
3com 3C509B isa: $50 (last week)
3com 3C590B pci: $110 (month ago)
I make my own cables so i don't know how much that'll set you
back. Depends on the length of the runs.

This ovislink price sounds attractive, but you can do much better
than
this for 100BaseT. More like $150 - $200 for linksys or netgear
stuff.
