my lab... pic sucks. from top down Juniper SA-2500 SSLVPN Palo Alto PA-200 firewall Juniper SRX210 Juniper SRX210 Avocent ACS6016 console server Cisco 3750 Switch Cisco 3550 Switch Cisco 3550 Switch power strip Cisco 3650 Switch Juniper J4300 Router Cisco 3845 ISR Router Juniper J6300 Router Cisco 2811 ISR router with NAM Juniper M7i router HP DL360 G7 with 8 1G NICS for Vsphere I'm an ex-WAN guy (for now) so my lab was mostly WAN-centric until I added SSLVPN, firewalls and VSphere this year after phasing out all my 2500 and 2600 devices. The M7i is logically split into 16 routers using "logical systems" which is similar to Nexus VDC. So that is my "WAN" - everything else breaks out into remote sites off the WAN. Call manager express on the 2811 and Call manager on a VM in VSphere for some 7960's I also have. I typically don't have this whole rack turned on at once. I only configure what I want to train on: WAN, LAN, VOIP, firewalls, ESX and server related tech, etc. For quick IOS L3 stuff I fire up a Cisco IOU VM and build things virtually.

For what it's worth the G7 and up HP proliant 2U boxes like a DL380 are really really quiet for what they are. They might spin up for 5 seconds on boot but they are no noisier than a video card playing games.
