I second the incredulity in every other comment here, but the bit that really struck me was the aluminum chassis reinforced with carbon fiber to _dampen vibration and resonance_. In an ethernet switch. What? I guess, if I had to stretch to say something nice, it's good that people like the author exist so that some engineers get to have a bit of fun designing a boring old switch with a no-compromises budget. EDIT: their website (the maker, not the reviewer) is pure (oxygen free, directional) gold. They have a ten thousand dollar power cord with extra little plugs on it that you can attach to something called a carbon fiber tuning module to "voice your system."
