Get the 2600 xm routers. The 00 part doesn't matter, and you want 12.4 IOS. Make sure all 4 devices you buy come with a power brick and preferrably console cables.
If you don't have a computer with a serial port (to use with the console cables) you'll need a usb > serial adapter. You need a way to simulate a serial link on your routers. Any 2950 routers will do.
Maybe add a couple of WIC cards to your shopping list to stick in the routers (for WAN links).
Right now I see a 2950 on ebay for $39. The 2600xm routers are closer to $100. If you can't afford that, then Cisco 1721 routers are a cheaper alternative. Definetly get the 2600 series routers, though, if you can afford them...they'll carry you beyond CCNA while the 1721 routers probably won't be of much use after your CCNA.Climb a mountain, tell no one. -
