home lab for QOS

Okie.. I been reading QOS book for 2 weeks but very tough to swallow them(after EASILY passing cvoice)..
Can someone Please map out a home lab for this? and the cheapest?
I am sorry but I cannot comprehend all these new terms and new scenarios.. and I am thinking I need to build a lab(but as CHEAP as possible).
I have ata186 from work.. but besides that.. i dont have much.. can you PLease tell me how to build a home lab cheap(and please be very specifi on which routers to get and which voice cards and so on? Please?
Also, for those of you, who are insisting on people getting voice device and voice card.. why can't lab consist of
pc(with free voip client)--->switch---->router----router--->switch---pc (w/ free voip client)
Can someone please point out the downside of this setup? (please)
For next CIPT exam. I will be going to boot camp but I really want to pass(and LEARN) the material by year 2006
