I had a good look at the rackount.  Most of the "switchs" looked to 
be 10BaseT only.  They only 10/100BaseT rackmount I could see was
warked as a hub (not a switch) so I wasn't that intrested and the
guy wantted top dollar.  They also had some patch panels but the
guy didn't know any prices for that.  They wanted £75 for the UPS
which again I though was expensive.  Dabs as a 400VA UPS for £31
and a 800VA £75 both inc of VAT.  IF anyone is going back there
can they find out the rating of the UPS just for my peice of mind :-)

In those I wasn't intrested.  I have no more room in my house for 
furniture, and I much perfer my MR2.
