    I run mine through 1 rack mounted power strip with a 15 AMP capacity. It never trips. Also, mostly all people that have home labs don't keep them on all the time. I only turn my routers/switches on when I need them.

    Different circuits help to support labs if you're running into problems.

    I... cause problems with my work power because my computer system / labs dim the lights in the building if I turn them on at the same time. Tripped multiple times.

    Long story short - I've ran long extension cables (two of them connected) from the server room into my office to power only my lab.

    I should be more worried about this.

    I've always been tempted to bring my lab equipment to work, not sure how something like that would fly.

    LOL awesome lab but I agree with the seating position. I don't know if I'd last 10 minutes on the floor. :P

    LOL... well I can move the phones if I'm working with them. Also I'm normally sitting on the couch with laptop in hand or in a computer chair but never on the ground.

    The rack that got me through my CCNP studies (minius one 2950 that is out on loan). I've been meaning to buy a Skeletech rack but the shipping prices are outrageous.

    I think it was only about $30-40 for s/h on the rack that I got to CA

    4 really is the better way to go, if you are financially able to do so.

    No, I used 4 switches for CCNP study but after I finished my Switch studies (roughly 6-7 months ago) i loaned one of my 2950s to my brother. I definitely suggest getting 4 switches for CCNP Switch lab so that you can at least follow the Cisco Student Lab Manual for CCNP Switch.

    Late to the game, but here is my lab.

    2 Cisco 2821s, running 15.1, one running CUCME 8.6
    1 Cisco 2611
    1 Cisco 2610
    1 Cisco 3750 L3 PoE
    3 Cisco 3548XLs
    1 Cisco 2950
    1 Dell 1950, 2x 3.0ghz Quad Cores, 16gb RAM, 4x 146gb HDDS running CUCM 8.6, CUCx 8.5, UCCX 8.5, Win2K3 for AD, DNS, DHCP, CentOS Server, and Linux Mint desktop (not all at once!)

    Also in use, 3 laptops, 3 Cisco 7961s, Cisco E3000 wireless router, and Brother MFD-6490. Just yesterday I routed the stack through my E3000, so I am able to work from the recliner while I am reading, lessening the trips to the office for simple commands. Trivial feat, but it excited me.

    It's sooo loud, I can even hear it from upstairs. ;-; I only turn it on when I want to test some OS. I wan't to change the fans, but I don't to risk messing it up. Or I could end up getting a Tower instead.
