Unhappy What books for MCSE Core?

Decided to get my MCSE. I need to know which text material is advised and what V-LABS(if any) are recommened for the core set of MCSE tests. I saw the following listed on the net:

*MCSE:Windows 2000 Core Requirements Virtual Lab(by James Chellis,Matthew Sheltz)and MCSE:Windows 2000 Core Requirements (Jim Chellis,Lisa Donald,Anil Desai,Paul Robichaux).

Then, I saw the *Transcender Core-PAK-Deluxe (MCSE 2000 Workstation Core Pak) for $2,399.

Can anyone offer me any advise on which of these options is better suited for Home Study?? I figure the $$$ I would spend on builing a server and workstations to practice on could be spent on a Virtual Lab.

Thanks

Thumbs up

MS Training Kit is good and MOC is good as well.

Transcender is the most popular prep software

Cool Where to purchase MOC

OK,
Where can I get the MOC..and do you think
I need a Virtual Lab as well..or does the MS Press come with a trial/temp OS that I can install on real computers to practice on..
Also, would I need transcender in addition to MOC, and MS Press??
Lots of questions, I know..just trying to maximize my $$$ (if you know what I mean :-)

you need a hands-on lab, that's for sure. 3 PCs will do the trick to get 2 DCs and 1 client. Don't waste your time with simulators.

Transcenders is a nice add-on, but pricey.

The MOC is available from most training centers...
