FOS emulation (self.sysadmin)

I started a new job as a systems engineer not too long ago and am looking for a way to get comfortable with FOS as I've never had to manage FC switches before. Anyone know of a way to emulate it, or should I just resign myself to buying an old switch on ebay and throwing it in the rack?

We've got a few different models; I can use the GUI and for sure the java gui problem is a nice CLI perk, but mostly I just find the CLI to be cleaner; I can throw the commands in my change request and then it can be referred to in the case of an issue or a similar change (it's a lot faster too which is nice). Didn't know if anyone knew about using GNS3 for it or something.
