I don't know how wide of an audience this will reach or how fast this thread will sink, but who on here has various labs for personal computing/certifications/educational advancement?

I was looking at building a hypervisor server (either ESXi or Xen) from Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals but nothing jumped out at me and prices will continue to fall so I'll wait on the dedicated SSD raid pricepoint.

Also I would like to get my CCNA and CCNA Security so I am looking at building a home CCNA/CCNP lab.

Other certs on my radar are Sec+, C|EH, CHFI, CISSP, MCITP:EA, MCSE 2012, RHCSE...of course some of these will take longer than others but I anticipate all of them within 2-3 years (sans CISSP) if I keep on the track I'm on.

Does anyone have any home labs that they're rockin? I'm super stoked to get the hyp server and CCNA lab all playing nicely

I have a CCNP switch lab consisting of 2 3560's and 2 2950's. Thy worked out pretty well, but they couldn't do VRRP or GLBP which would have been nice to lab some, but I get enough hands on that none of the lab was really necessary anyway.

I'd love a CCNA lab. Our network admins are supposed to be putting together a CCNA/CCNP lab for any employee who wants to certify to use.

I have my CCENT right now, working towards CCNA.
