Shop around on ebay. You dont need much for starters and are really spoiled for choice these days. I once paid 700 dollars for a 2503 router and that was a fair price back then.

Definitely eBay -- people have been scoring 2950 switches for around $100 lately.

You should try for 2 2950s, especially if you think you'll go on to the CCNP someday. Your 3rd switch for the CCNA can be a 2924-XL-EN.

Check out the CCNA FAQ for some more lab hints.
