Don't HP switches have lifetime warranties?
For smaller installs, 2-50 phones, I like these:

you can put upto a core i7 in there with 16gb of ram. The dual nics are nice as well. Paired with a lantronix spider kvm, it's a nice little package...

Interesting that you would recommend this.. I was JUST looking at this model.
Anybody else have experience with these? I'm looking for something in this category...
IMHO they're not really a pro-level solution, but my experience has been that a valid VOIP system uses little/no horsepower, which is why I'm looking for a 'phone-lite' version... I've got a client locally who insisted on using a used Dell intel core 2ghz tower they had handy, with 1gb of RAM.. Still running just fine 3yrs later, with about a dozen desksets & a few other toys....
Do you ever have problems with the NICs? I noticed they are Realtek, and I still have issues occasionally with Realtek NICs. Just two weeks ago I fixed a FreeNAS box that was just killing NICs every so often until it could no longer talk, and a reboot fixed it. Turns out it was getting watchdog errors on all the NICs. Swapped out with Intel (who knows why it was built this way to begin with!?) and everything is rock solid since. When running anything *nix/BSD, I've just learned to stay away.
Just something to think about.
