OK - here's the deal ! I've been wanting to buy a hub/switch for home for a
while and today Scan had an offer which was too good to resist - a 5 port
10/100 switch (NOT hub) + 3 PCI 10/100 network cards + 3 5M cables for UK£55.
Technical hitch is that Scan charges UK£30 for shipping to Ireland, making
the package a little more expensive, though still very good value. And then
I had a thought - somebody else is bound to think this is a good deal, so I
bought two, thus spreading the carriage costs. The second package is now on
sale to the first person to put their hand up, so to speak. You get the
equipment as outlined above (the switch is in iMAC style translucent plastic
and no, I don't know what colour) brand new and under warranty for IR£101
being
(UK£55 + UK£15) x 1.175 X 1.23050

I'll also throw in a set of amplified speakers, just because I'm a nice guy
(and because, as regular readers will be aware, I happen to have rather a
lot of these speakers :-) )
Prices are F.O.B. my house in Lucan i.e. you collect. I'll post the kit if you
like at cost.

Niall
