Mike, you can download one of the RELENG_7 (7.0-STABLE) ISO snapshots
from here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200806/

You probably want 7.0-STABLE-200806-i386-disc1.iso or amd64-disc1.iso
depending upon if you want a 32-bit or 64-bit OS.  (I'd recommend going
with amd64, if at all possible.)
