Decent 24-port managed switch on a budget?

[Silenus]

At work we are looking to a get a new 24-port gigabit switch for use at our system imaging area. It really doesn't need to do anything fancy except for support multicasting since we image multiple systems at once (need IGMP v2 i believe).

Anyone have any good recommendations? I came across the Asante IC39240 which seems to have the features and is very reasonably priced...but I don't really recognize the brand or have any experience with it.

I did some searching a few months back and found the above switch to be quite a good value.

Or the Dell PowerConnect 2824

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with the Dell 2824 as it has the features we need and I found a great discount for it online.

The HP ProCurve series are pretty decent.

Expensive tho!
