I'm getting a laptop next week(my desktop sucks!!) so that'll prolly go on the stand my controllers are on. I'm also looking into getting some better TT's and maybe a better mixer(DDM4000 maybe)

A closer look at my $6 DIY laptop/controller stand

2x Numark NDX400
2x American Audio VDT-1000
Denon dn-x120
Hercules Mp3e2
Korg Nanopad
Sony MDR-V700
American Audio Versaport
Virtual DJ Pro 7

dude what are the Numark ndx 400's like ? I'm planning on gettin something along the lines of cdj's but don't have the huge cash supply for them ...

I love em! Had them for a few months and haven't had any problems yet, and at $200 a piece there probably the best lower end CDJ's on the market. Just do a little research on them before you buy. Read some reviews, watch some videos, and if possible go to your local music store and see if you can test one out to make sure they have what you want before dropping the cash.
Hope I helped!

how do you like the kontrol49? I saw one recently for $60..

The kontrol49 is great! it has touch sensitive trigger pads and has enough keys for me. If you can get one for $60 that would be a steal. They are discontinued so they are getting hard to find.

Yep. That's pretty much the point of it - a controller so I don't have to draw in my pads and leads.

23" Acer LCDs. They only have VGA and DVI in (no HDMI) but for $177 a piece I can't complain. They are bright and clear and have a decent response rate. I'm only running Logic though - I'm not grading video or anything on them!

I LOVE that trackpad. In Logic it's great for scrolling through things, the swipe gesture is wonderful and I don't have to listen to a mouse scratching away at the desk or mousepad!
