Gartner? probably not. Depending what you are trying to budget, 
(hardware vs people time vs project milestones), google may (or may not) 
be a good place to start. Since you said 'list pricing', I assume you 
mean like actual durable goods. In which case, google (or other search 
engine) is a reasonable place to start unless you are talking about high 
end equipment. In that case, you need to talk directly to the vendors 
(things like Cisco GSR routers, Sun E15k, etc)
