With some luck and hard work, I have been able to secure three 1841 routers. The plan at this point is to setup the rack per INE topology as I already have the INE practice labs and the online class. After talking to a few CCIE's, it seems like the troubleshooting part of the lab is not all that bad....(that's what they have said, I will only agree with them once I pass the lab :). One thing that I have noticed though is the fact that MPlS portion is pretty straight forward, no traffic engineering or too involved VPN's.
I will be re-cabling the rack some time this week and running my first full lab during spring break....so much for the spring break.
