Are you asking where to buy it?

Also don't by any 1900 series switches. Go for 2924's or 2950's if possible. You can go on ebay and see what's out there.

The CCNA is designed for 2950 series switches so I'd recommend them.

OK SO THE ROUTERS SHOULD BE FINE JUST THE 1900 SWITCHES ARE NOT... THINK THE 2950 ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME, BUT I COULD AFFORD THE 2924. THEY ARE MUCH CHEAPER THAN TTHE 2950. ALSO SHOULD 3 ROUTERS AND 2 SWITCHES BE GOOD..

A CCNA student should never buy a 1900 switch ever. Try to see if you can buy a 2950 switch

Should be fine for the CCNA. As far as I'm concerned - you could probably do fine with 2 2924 switches and 2 2500 or 2600 series routers. The key is not how much money you spend, but how creative you are. You can do a lot of layer 2 with 2 switches (port assignment, vlans, vtp, trunking, spanning-tree, etc.), and with 2 routers, you can plug in ethernet networks or simulate remote networks using loopbacks. You can even do multi-area OSPF with only 2 routers.

Also, don't forget to check out Dynamips.

If you have plan to go CCNP after CCNA. IOS for CCNP need 12.4.
