You can also try www.realrouterlabs.com if you don't want to invest your
life savings on your own lab. They are cheap and have good availability.
Also, if you plan on putting together a home lab DONT forget the power and
noise issues. You will probably need to run a dedicated circuit to run
everything or you will pop the circuit breakers everytime someone plugs in
the hair dryer. Also, don't forget that this gear is noisy, so don't plan on
putting a rack of gear in the house (especially if you are married). Just my
