Ethernet Network Taps

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience in building a passive 10/100baseT network tap similar to that availble via black box, netoptics, etc? I'm just wondering why this device is worth in excess of $300?? Are the components worth that much to build? Or is it a niche market where the main players dictate the price?

I'm trying to find out if I could build one myself for a more realistic consumer type price (I don't know say around $50)?? Am I dreaming??

Any schematics would be nice!!

Thanks

Jason
