I recently ran a gig-e network with some cheap D-Link gig-e switch and cat-6 cables to connect my home pc, imac and PS3 for media sharing. Working great, no issues. But now I am looking at getting a TV which has an ethernet connection, as well as maybe another computer, and a potential Wii. Rather that going through the painful process of running more cables (through walls, under floor, etc.), I was thinking of buying two more cheap switches to place at either end. This would give me 3 switches total. Am I asking for issues doing this and would it be better to go through the pain of running more cables instead? I just want it to be reliable, performance is really not much of an issue as I know I am not pushing things as it stands right now...
