Money well spent, no question.
actually, right now i'm waiting on a pair of pci-e 1x gigabit nic's. hopefully they come soon.

just installed my new cisco slm2008 switch. works great so far. i have my PC connected to it via LACP (using both mobo NIC's), and the FreeNAS box will be connected via LACP also once the new NIC cards come.
