I'll admit I'm a little biased here (I made the preso), but here are a few more resources for those interested in building a home lab:

"Building Your Own Kickass Home Lab" -- bit.ly/kickasslab (or https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V-mWiyaJ3I6HhXRxH1M5...)

I talk about hardware, software (choose your own host OS, consider VMware Workstation), operating systems, vulnerable builds, example labs, and some ideas of what to test.
