    Thats looks decent to me. You will want at least another switch to practice STP though.

    Sprint.. That sounds like the exact kit I purchased off Ebay a couple months ago and it should be pretty good for CCNA studies like was said may need another switch though. I haven't done anything with mine yet since I am really not far enough along in my CCENT studies just yet but getting there.
    Currently working on CCENT/CCNA and CAPM

    Ideally you will want another switch. Are you getting this for the CCENT or CCNA?

    That looks really good to me, another switch would be useful and a layer 3 switch at that. Also stay away from 2600 routers. The one with a single ethernet port aren't worth it, 1841 are my top choice

    Just make sure that the faceplates are firmly attached, the compact flash ejectors, aren't broken, and that the rack mount brackets are included.
