Yeah. I was down at Networld+interop and the cheapest I could find was from 
DLink. It was a 5-port hub and listed for (I think) $99. However, it DID have 
an "uplink" connector so you could connect two of 'em together for a total of 
10-ports (or would it be 9, plus an "open" uplink port?? Hmm...)
