Vince -  Welcome - we found a good central Auckland (Newmarket) source
is XP Computers. Maybe not the absolute cheapest but good backup,
service and warranty

Hi All,

This is totally off the "linux" space topic.  However this is the only
IT community that I know that will/may provide me  the right
information.  I've been  collecting  EOL  Cisco routers for my
studies/lab testing  and I've got a few  descent enough routers and
switches however it isn't enough for my future studies.

I'm actually planning to turn my cisco racks into publicly available
rack for cisco studies free-of-charge for NZ only.  I have not figured
out how to get this done but for sure there's a way.

Currently I have the following:

Cisco 2501, 2503, 1601, 1721
Catalyst 1900 (all enterprise IOS)

I'm currently looking for any routers/multi-service switch from 25xx
series and above.  I'm willing to pay for it.  A 4xxx series would be
really good to have or 7xxx.

I prefer to be contacted through this email address.


TIA

Regards,

Banjo

That'd be www.pricespy.co.nz ;-)

Just be careful with SuperCheapPC, there are a lot of mixed results with
people shopping there:

Ive had a dealers account with Qmb for about 4 years now, never had a
problem :)

As for LUG Activity, the AuckLUG should be back again in either the
first monday of Jan or the first monday of Feb...
