Where can I find Labs to do?

I built a home lab and I want to start doing some labs to help prepare me for the CCNA. I will do the TechLabs on here but I obviously need more. Can anyone point me to a place where I can find some good ones even if I have to pay for them? My home lab consists of the following:

1x2514 Router (with AUI Transceiver)
1x2610 Router w/NM-8A/S
2x3640 Routers w/NM-2E2W w/WIC-1T's each
2x2950-24 Switches
1x3550-48 Switch

3 1-foot Back-2-Back Serial Cables
3 3-foot Back-2-Back Serial Cables
All the patch cables I could need

Any place you can point me to get me started would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

    Has anyone used that? I'm always looking for some more labs to do. I'll definitely pick it up if I get some positive feedback.

    Don't the Cisco Academy Lab Books primarly deal with using PacketTracer?

    Ciscokits lab workbook will get you what you need but I found that making up my own labs based on the chapter in Odom I was reading was more helpful. Especially when I didn't get it right the first time and had to troubleshoot! Yay for troubleshooting practice.

    As a matter of fact that is what i am looking for "troubleshooting". I can not learn something unless I do some hands on / troubleshooting work. I have to find "my own" mistakes to understand the topic.

    Its a mixture. There are stand alone Packet Tracer exercises, then there are labs which all have Packet Tracer companions (ie the lab in Packet Tracer).

    I just had a look at the Routing Protocols & Concepts Labs & Study Guide and it has 25 labs in it. But that is just a fraction of the material in it, lots and lots of other exercises to work through.

    They are pretty cheap as well for the amount of material you get. I'm using them alongside the Companion Guides and together it seems pretty comprehensive, to me at least.
