I really don’t care about the price, as long as I can get something that’s going to serve me for the whole purpose. I would rather have better than what I need than settling for something that’s below par for what i need.
This is a pretty good answer. May I suggest Juniper? Here is a decent performing switch, and a good performing router to round things out. You won’t be quite a portable, but you won’t have any performance woes.
Or much time to use it with the 12 jobs you will be holding down to pay for it. 😀

nice little 8-port cisco small business router for $200.
This is actually a pretty decent choice. You should see some good sustainable performance off of this one. Especially for the price. I’d be interested in the reviews for it.

Seriously though, if price were really not a concern, I would recommend Juniper, there were products in the $600 range that will work for just about anything you could ever hope to throw at them. But it’s super overkill for a gaming rig. They are killer performers, and I’m a firm believer in the Netscreen/GT series, though I’m not exactly sure what they’ve replaced them with lately. I have a feeling they killed off the small biz products.

Participantawesome, but i don’t think the juniper has enough ports for what he needs (only 48? laughable.) but with the PoE he can set up some cameras and let us watch the frag-fest. 🙂

KeymasterRight!
The cool thing about the Juniper appliances I’ve used for the last few years is that they have fully configurable ports. You can have 4 Untrust ports and One Trust port, allowing you to multi-home a $500 appliance. Not to mention that you can do a ridiculously finely grained policy for screening in or outbound traffic, and the VPN allows for incredibly flexible settings. We once had site to site VPN running at 1024-bit while still routing all public traffic for a bank. I have a Juniper appliance running routing duties at ‘the lot’.
