Cheapest way to create a working mx240ish for lab/ training/eval?

It doesn't have to be junOS.. just 10 or 12 SFP+ slots that can do the basics.. routing firewall/acl bgp no need for vpn ssl-mitm etc...

I'd prefer one I could build and run a few different OS's on it for testing/training/eval.

I mean I could slap a high end linux server with a bunch of pci 10G nics and virtualize it all with kvm/qemu.. but if there is a cheaper/better way without getting locked into a vendor i'd check that out..

Now i'm remembering something google/facebook were opensourcing in the switch/router world.. openswitch or something? I'm grabbing some sleep before post labor day hell. Thanks.
