Dynamips, works great however there is no switch emulation, yes you can use routers with the Ethernet modules, just not the same.

You can use some of the above list for a CCIE (R&S, I assume) Lab (the

3640's, needs more flash though) (the 2501 as backbone router).

However, I would follow a layout for building a lab.

Internetwork Expert has one

Some of the equip off of your list is used as alternative equipment on IE's list

They also have studies based on Dynamips as well

There is also rack rental available from here.

Also, here is the equipment you will be tested on (currently) on the R&S Lab exam

I have affiliation with any of the companies listed nor have I used their products or services. Just what I've come across in my searches.

If all that equipment is operational, $800 is a pretty good (great) deal. Do a lookup on eBay to see what the going prices are for used equipment.
