Those small Allied Telesyn media converter fiber <-> TP work like
a charm and you can use whatever NIC you like, 3com/intel offer
the best performance/reliability, for some desktop you can
usually use cheaper ones like rtl8139 based cards. If the real
reason for running fiber is that the size of your building
exceeds the limits for TP?

Good luck
