I've always felt kinda bad I don't know IOS. Can anyone recommend a model that I could get off e-bay thats cheap, but can run a modern version of IOS that I can play with?

Router: 2600 series. Fairly cheap on ebay and as you learn different modules relatively expandable.

Switch: 2900 series. Again, fairly cheap on ebay.

You could get marginally cheaper models but I've seen 2610's with a WIC go for less than $100, and 2924's going for $50. I'd recommend getting 2 routers, 2 switches because you'll want to learn routing hands on at some point.
