Jake-

I run an internal DSL with ICS on my Win98se proxy server. I am a fan of Netgear switches. They come in punchdown configuration (for wall mounting) and don't overheat (a plus for gamers like me).

You are on the right track, though. Just avoid 3Com home networking hubs at all costs (I have melted several of them).
