Windows 2000 Accelerated Exam 70-240?

I am fixing to start studying for the accelerated exam and I was wondering what books, etc. that would be a great deal of help to me in this most impossible adventure? The company I work for has no plans in the immediate future of deploying Windows2000, so I do not have much access to the OS in general. I was thinking of buying the exam prep 2000 core books to aid in study as well as a few others. I am aware of the fact that I still need some hands on experience with 2000 but just was wondering if there were any good books, etc. that would help me on this dark quest?
Please Help!
