  • Samsung ML-2851ND

    Samsung's ML-2851ND is a bare bones mono-laser printer with a few extra features attached that will appeal to the small-to-medium business crowd that simply needs to print out text documents or light graphics. The AU$330 price tag is higher than average for a monochrome printer. Still, if print speed and print quality are deciding factors for you, consider the Samsung ML-2851ND.

  • HP ProCurve 2610

    HP's ProCurve 2610-24-PWR is not cheap for a 100kbps switch, even with PoE, but it has plenty of features and is a quality machine.

  • Canon Pixma MX850

    The Canon Pixma MX850 is a small, versatile multifunction printer suited to a small office looking for a cheap, do-it-all machine. It offers a broad range of features and reasonable document print quality, but don't expect top quality colour prints.

  • Fluke NetTool

    The Fluke NetTool is an easy-to-use, effective way of testing network cables (Cable Testing), network connectivity between desktops and networks (Inline Mode), and PC configuration.
