How cheap are you seeing this hardware? In the UK at least I could get an 8 port managed switch for £25 (on sale, full price £35)

A PCIE 2x gigabit network card runs at £30 each, to match ports itd cost £120

That is not for multigig yes for 1gbit this ain't worth it but for 2.5 or 10 it is a bit cheaper €20 per 2 10g ports
