This is the best choice for a Cisco lab router. It has gigabit ports to match up with your gig switch ports or the FE ports for unequal cost routing. The memory is expandable cheaply to run any IOS, and it has USB ports to make it quick and easy to upgrade/downgrade/backup. it will accept CF cards up to at least 8gb, but will only boot on cards up to 2 gb. it is easy to configure at the CCNA level, but can be expanded to cover all topics of the CCIE labs. Best of all they are cheap and readily available on ebay. I run mine with 4 wic 1dsu T1 cards for the serial connections. They are cheap and plentiful and I can make t1 cross over cables for pennies.

Perfect for someone wanting to build a home lab for CCNA/CCNP studies. For the price it can't be beat! Only downfall is how loud this thing is compared to a 1841 and it takes up 2U of rack space. Your loved ones will hate you for having 3 or 4 of these running 24/7. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner! Pro's is that its got plenty of WIC and NM slots for future proofing studies. Don't worry about how beat up the front is. You're going to be stacking and looking at the back of these things. If your worried about aesthetics then your in the wrong field. GOOD LUCK

Looks new. Great price, professional looking packing. Fast shipper. Was the only seller out of 10 that answered my questions. The downside was both E0/0 and 0/1 were in down status when I received the router. Which was easily fixed.
