Home Networking: Cheap 8 port 10Gbit Home Network setup! (Mikrotik CRS309-1G-8S+IN)

A 10Gbit or 10Gbe home network has been a long goal of mine but up until now the costs associated with it have prevented me from doing so. Two new 4x (CRS305) and 8x 10Gbit (CRS309) fanless switches from Mikrotik Routerboard have changed the game and with these a 10Gbit network has now become a serious option!
