8 port switch - desktop or rack mounted - differences?

[EddScott]

Might be a dumb question but are these two switches effectively "the same" inside?

They'll be very similar. The main difference is the case construction and whether the PSU is internal or not.

This pretty much. The rack mountable version will be larger in dimensions, so its basically down to space requirements.
