can anyone give me a compelling reason not to get a Brocade ICX6430-24 to replace my Catalyst 3750G-24TS-S, given the power supply in it is slowly dying?

the brocade is only an L2 switch rather than an L3 like the catalyst, but I can account for that

otherwise specs are largely the same, but the Brocade uses 36W max rather than 100+ idling

@izaya if you pay €0,62/kWh like is the basic rate in Germany, you'll yeet that old piece of Cisco junk right on #eNay if not the #eWaste recycler in your juristiction...

@kkarhan $0.40/kWh, so less, but it still hurts.

Mostly thinking that getting rid of it will extend the life of the PV system's battery significantly

@izaya *nodds in agreement* it won't hurt and putting it up for sale may allow someone else harvest it for spare parts or use it in lieu of a broken unit...
