Don't forget, you can always just get cheap BNC-based cards and use that
to throw together a network instead.  Many old cards already have BNC
connectors (and I wish more did), and cables and Ts are fairly cheap.
That way, you don't actually need a hub, and may end up spending less on
setting up a small network.
