Re: building my own R&S lab

If you are looking to buy 2811s, I think ebay is a good place to start and
cheap

In many cases you can find 2811s in the 600s to 800 range and sometimes they
are missing parts like internal fan?

Same goes for 3750Gs, I was able to pick up a 3750G switch which supposeldy
had two bad ports, turns out it was 100% good so who ever tested it didn't
know what they were doing and I ended up paying less than half!
