All,
I would like to second the vote for NHR(Network Hardware). I have purchased from Joe Zender there for years and the support, price, warranty, and quality has been outstanding. I placed his contact info below, because it is truly a rare thing when I can say he is a great sales person.
Thanks
Eric

I'd suggest looking at FluxLight (www.fluxlightinc.com) for this.
Their sales and support process is nothing short of stellar, and
pricing is a fair medium between "paying too much for vendor optics"
and "fly-by-night eBay imports".
To wit, all of their products Just Worked without ever needing Cisco's
infamous 'service unsupported-transceiver' vendor lock override.
