CCNA Voice Lab (Virtual)

I am sure this question has already been asked on here but I couldn't find it so I apologize up front if I'm asking a question that's already been asked. I just passed my CCDA exam on Friday which actually provided me with CCDA as well as CCDP since I already passed the ARCH exam to renew my CCNP back in June. So now I'm looking to try and knock out CCNA: Voice before the end of this year. I already have the Cisco Press book for CCNA Voice, as well as the CBT Nuggets videos. Honestly, I'm not looking to spend money on a lab if at all possible. I'd like to be able to get away with setting up a virtual lab in GNS3 and vmware which I know is possible. Was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on places that walk you through the process of what's needed and all of that. I really don't plan to go any higher than CCNA: Voice in the voice track anytime soon unless something changes so I don't want to invest the money in the gear that I'm only going to use more than likely one time. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations!

Check out blindhog.net as they have a video walk through on setting up a Voice lab in GNS3. Its a bit dated, with no recent updates, and built around CUCM v4.x (just substitute v8.x), but it does get you started and points out what you can/can't do with Voice in GNS3.
