I use wired 100mb Ethernet in my house to connect 2 PVR's, 8 computers, and 3 NetDisks. I have not moved to 1000mb Ethernet because the PVR's don't/won't support it.
I found Netgear gigabit cards for $10 after rebate, and a gigabit router for $39.99 after rebate (all at staples).

The netgear cards normally go for $25, but places like Newegg.com sell the generic Realtek cards (same chipset as the Netgears) for only $13

and here is a $46 gigabit switch
