hmm thanks guys, unfortunately dont have net and the current place so didint post a reply.
it is for home use, basically i would prefer to use cat6 cable as its slightly better,, the keystones etc will most probably be 5e (yeah that defeats the purpose but it is easier to replace the connectors then the cables, also a work mate prefers cat6 cables, as i said we got about 6 half used boxes of cat5e sitting and no one is going to use them).
actually i was looking at a few gig switches on ebay one of the cisco one went for 171 and another went for 31 (and i wasnt happy about that one ). the other is that i am thinking of having a box with hard drives (something like nas) and was most probably going to get a switch which can agregate link (so 2gb if needed for the nas box)
i have found someone who has an account with middendorp so will most probably go via him to get some cable and connectors etc.
thanks for the help.
