Hi, Below is a reply I posted to someone else with a similar question: Hi, I have not passed the Lab yet. My date is in June. Below is a home lab that I have assembled. It all depends on how much you can afford to spend. With this equipment I can do the CCbootcamp, IPexpert, Hello and Routopia labs at home. The only thing is that for ATM I will have to rent rack time. I have all four workbooks. When I bought the IPexpert workbook they provided four free 6.5 hour sessions of rack time. I've went through each workbook and website to obtain the rack specifications. Then I drew a diagram for each workbook and with the equipment I have I can cable up my rack once at the start of each workbook and perform all the required labs. With the exception of the 2-2501's and the 2924 switch which I borrowed from a friend, every other item listed was bought off Ebay. Routers,switches,modules,ISDN, cables etc. You have to be dilligent and shop for the best price. I never had a single problem with the Ebay auctions. All equipment arrived in a 100% working condition. Total spent on Ebay was close to 7 grand. Excellent price for all this equipment. Again, I am fortunate to be able to afford this, barely. My credit cards are maxed out and for my last purchase (the 2 3550 switches)I had to take a loan out. Best of luck.
