Home Lab/Cisco Kit?

[verdell35]

I have a 2-year Network Systems Administration degree. Have never worked in the field since I graduated Dec of last year. So I would like to setup a home lab to at least keep my mind fresh; until I do get in the field one day. So I don't know what would be the best or latest kit to purchase for the moment?

Thanks in advance

Their stuff is usually really overpriced. A better option would be to use Ebay and piece together a lab. Better than that would be to use Dynamips.
