    i agree that its old and theres no reason to try to use it in production, it is EOL, but if its cheap, its alot cheaper then trying to buy a 3560 or something to get a good layer3 switch for a lab, and a 4006 wont draw that much power if its not loaded, you dont need 3 psu's to get it going at...
