Just wanted to say hi! I stumbled onto this site some how and its been a great resource so far.
A few weeks ago i made the decision to go for my CCNA and maybe my CCNP and i started out with the set of cisco press books by Wendell Odom. I have to say these two books are some of the best written tech books ive read.
I managed to cobble together a kit based on all the "what should i get" threads. So far i have:
3x 2610's
1x 2924XL ( dont think its an EN

is that bad?) Planing on maybe getting another? or a 2950.
1x 2509
Should be getting all next week

Only problem i have is im running low on funds and i still need to get some serial cables and 2 more wic-1T cards and some rack ears (not sure which ones need them, havent gotten the stuff yet).
Sorry for rambling, Im a touch excited about the lab, i just wanted to say hi and kinda introduce my self. Im definetly going to be sticking around for a while to absord as much as i can.
