Not sure which switch to get

deceit

Can anyone help me choose which switch to get. Looking to network my house. All wiring is done and servers in place just need a switch and not sure which would be best out of these two:

The planet one is about 60 dearer but is handy as can drop in and pick it up anytime, the other is from komplett.

Do you really need 24 ports for your house? For residential use, performance differences aren't likely to be noticeable, so price would start to look like the deciding factor. However, take into account power consumption and noise from fans. Komplett has 16-port fanless gigabit switches for just €93, which would be cheap to buy, cheap to run (25W) and silent.

I had a 16 port and ran out of space on it. Have 6 360's in the house, 7 pcs, 3 servers and the router. Never have many on at once other than the 360's but saves changing everything around every time want to use somethings. I decided to get the planet one and its really low noise which i'm really happy with.

6 360...??? Have you a gaming arcade? And not one PS3 Im disgusted!! Id get this switch, excellent quality, good price and very reliable kit..
