If your ok with 100/Full, I recomend the Intel510T for Layer 2 managed 
switching. If you need Layer3 switching, the Intel520T should work.

I paid $2.50 USD for a used 24 Port Intel510T with 0 problems. They also
support SNMP and cut-through switching. It defaults to store-and-forward,
but its a really easy thing to change. I was ok with paying 10 times as
much to have it shipped here.
