Thanks, that rules out the Arista option then. :) I'm currently looking into the HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ (JC772A) switches, as they seem to be a good price/perfo

Thanks, that rules out the Arista option then. :) I'm currently looking into the HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ (JC772A) switches, as they seem to be a good price/performance mix on Ebay. :) My homelab is currently just a small setup with 4 boxes using 40GbE and a few others with 10GbE. Only one of them really needs the 40GbE though, the other's could be made 10GbE and not care. ;) Random example of this switch: https://www.networktigers.com/products/jc772a-hpe-5900af-48xg-4qsfp-switch https://www.networktigers.com/products/jc772a-hpe-5900af-48x... Can't seem to find any info about noise levels though. :(

Found a data sheet with the acoustic info (https://s4u.com.ua/assets/files/hp%205900.pdf https://s4u.com.ua/assets/files/hp%205900.pdf). 65.7-70.6 dB. That's clearly not going to be workable. Damn.

  Yea, a lot of them are pretty high flow due to the density of heat generated. Most are consuming 100-200watts, and that has to all come out as heat!

  So - you could consider the Mikrotik - CRS326-24S+2Q+RM It has 2 40G, and it is very quiet (I have one)

    Thanks, that seems like the right kind of thing. :)
