I went to Newegg.com and searched for desktop 24 RJ45-port switches with 10/100/1000Mbps. This one was the first of six, and show 24 connecters and power socket on the same side of the unit in one of the product photographs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833127486

I didn't look at any of the others, and I didn't examine this one other than looking at the photo. You might find other switches that are a better fit.
I'd look for 802.1Q (VLAN) capable switches, because VLANs can reduce cabling and the number of NICs required on routers. But at the low end you need to be careful. I was about to acquire a TP-Link switch recently, until I discovered that its management interface required Windows/Java. That eliminated its fit for my purposes. |

I'd also comment that if space is an issue, the one that jggimi mentioned _might_ have one of those overly large bricks at the power connector side. If choosing any like that--that is, with a small hole for the power cord rather than a standard power cord connection socket I'd make sure to find a picture of the power cord itself to make sure there isn't a large brick at the prong end.
