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:

Can't seem to find any info about noise levels though. :(
