Take a look at this list.  These folks are putting a commodity Linux environment 
with binary drivers to merchant silicon switches.  Right now they support 
Accton, Agema, Penguin Computing and Quanta.

Even without the linux distro these switches are probably cheap and usable with 
their default OS.

Hey NANOG, it's good to be back and has been quite a while since I lurked on 
this list.  Greetings from the bottom of the Earth (-70F outside my building).
