How low is low?
Managed switches are expensive by default.
Do you just need SNMP functionalityor is it a full on VLAN environment?
If you check around you can get some Cisco switches pretty cheap on e-bay, obviously there are risks with this.
You can get a 12 port C2950 for about $500 on the net if you are willing to do some research.

We have had very good luck with ProCurve 2524 switches. There is a 2512, 12 port version, available as well. Pricing for both is in the low $400. The benefit of the design is that you are getting a managed switch that features slots for connectivity to fiber or gigabit. The life-time warranty makes it a steal.

As it turns out, I went with the ProCurve 24 and a SoHo6 watchdog firewall totaling about $800 thanks!

Dell has a line of managed switches, even a 24-port Gigabit switch for under $1,000.00.
If you like Dell PCs, these are much in the same line - very good basic units costing much less than similar Cisco or Foundry items.
