haha sorry sorry!
i was transferring 3 12GB files cross network at about a 30MB/s avg which i think was more limited by the hard drives than anything (only running single 7200RPM drives non raid)
i was more then satisfied with the cheap Gbit switches i purchased

not to mention the router i'm using handled all the requests it's the DHCP server and central link between my Gbit switches
i did experience a internet slowdown but when i started the test my brother was still awake and streaming netflix on his xbox so thats what i chalk that up to
edit: you know i was curious as i was writing this what the max write/read speeds of my HDD was and it turns out maybe i was maxing the switches/router out i was doing around 97MB/s total when they have a max potential 128MB/s
my HDD's max speeds were
Transfer Rate: 52.688 MB/s (write)
Transfer Rate: 286.353 MB/s (read)
