I was thinking about buying a APC Masterswitch for the home lab. It seems like the going rate for a AP9211 is $100, while the AP9225 is about $50. I've even noticed a few AP9210's for as little as $30 with the network managment cards.

Does it really matter which one I get? They all seem to do remote power, and I don't think the graceful shutdown ports on the AP9225's are going to do me any good. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any suggestions?

AP9210 $35 shipped
AP9225 $60 shipped

I get the "That's cool I wanna play with it" factor... But really? for a home CCNA lab? Really?

I know, I know. I like toys, and dammit that's a cool toy. I want a 2511 too.. Beside's it's going to be a CCNP lab here pretty soon..

I was talking to the guys at work about wanting some power management for the lab. Except I have no 15A sockets

You can't blame him for wanting to add to the lab take inzeos for example.

Buy my 2511!!! I will include 2 octal cables!

I'm looking for something like that to manage power. Lots of cables in my rack is getting me nervous. Also I will get a table to put stuff and my PC/Laptop there.

So, pretty much the general consensus is stop thinking and keep studying.. K.
