    You guys have some serious setups!

    Here is my workstation at work.
    Just beginning to study for CCENT.
    Switches I ordered came in the mail already. Still waiting on the routers.

    Been viewing this thread for a while. I finally have something that is post-worthy. Most of everything is in the rack - not shown is my 4U whitebox, 1 Cisco 3750G-24TS-S, 1 WS-C3750G-12S-S on loan from ISP I work at, and an Extreme Summit 200-24. Now that I have a L2 tunnel between the office where the server is and the lab here at home, I can get to work on VOICE. Just need a terminal server yet and another router + misc cables/wic's.

    I can get a 42U rack from work... It's too big for my home lab, so I might try to cut it down to about 20U.

    Hopefully I can post some pics once it's done :)

    Just finished building this for my VCP lab. Once I'm done (soon I hope), I'll move on to some MS certs my company needs me to get:


    Dell 2410 Cabinet
    3x PE1950 Servers (esxi hosts)
    1x PE2950 Server (iSCSI SAN)
    1x Meraki MS Switch (general and iSCSI network)
    1x Meraki MX Router
    and some random Cisco routers I'm not currently using.

    Wow this thread is awesome! Must also account for at least 20% of the world's electricity usage?! Haha.

    Not even man...everyone that looks at this thinks the same, but in reality, I only turn on my equipment on weekends to do some labbing for a few hours, and the ethernet power controller I have lets me manage / monitor electricity wattage.

    There ya go
    Amazon.com: Gigabit Et Quad Port Adapt: Electronics

    Its expensive but I have seen them installed on cheap servers sold on ebay. The servers with the card cost less than the card.

    I like it a lot. Makes labbing much easier especially when using VMs

    Thanks for the info!
    I agree that it is pretty pricey, but seems almost worth the cost.

    These are the Quad Intel Gigabit NIC's installed Dell Servers. They can be found on Ebay for about 20.00. If you guys need some I have close to 20 of them from server decommissions.

    I'd be interested in 1-2. I'm slowly building up my lab and these would be useful.

    I would like 2 as well if they are PCIe
