Setup that can serve my needs.. Help!

I'm wanting to setup my basement as a studio and a place for parties. I'm just now getting into DJ'ing and plan on slowly getting the equipment as I can afford it.

Right now I'm looking for some speakers and mixer just for dance parties and playback, I do a little audio recording on my pc and mainly just use HD280's. What I'd like are some active speakers I can hook up to my Pc though my Revo7.1. I'd like something that I can use both for monitors and speakers that can push alot of volume for parties. Keep in mind later down the road I'll be adding 2 Technics tables. Should I go ahead and throw the mixer in now and run the pc to a mixer?

Basically I want some speakers and a mixer that can grow with me as I get more into DJ'ing and can serve dual purposes for mixing and parties.

Oh, one more thing.. my budget for just the speakers and mixer right are around 2000-2500. Basement is about 25x40.

im in the same area as you right now in trying to buy all my equipment...

im saving up for

2x techs
2x ortofon nightlub
1x allen + heath xone 62
2x jbl eon 15 g2
1x sony v6
2x bedrock slipmats
1x sampler/fx of some sort in the future
1x cd player of some sort in the future

im going to take my dj "hobby" very seriously as you can tell

i suggest the jbl eon 15 g2 for your price range they are around 1,400 (industry standard) and are very reliable and sound great.

I don't know about speakers, but under that budget, you can get a beatiful mixer!!... look at the high-end Pioneer mixers, and even the Rane mixers.

I'm in the same boat, but spending about 1800 on..
.2 technics sl-1200 M3D TTs.
.2 stanton SKII cartridges.
.2 Shure While Label cartridges.
.1 Sennheiser HD280 silver pair headphones.

I already got my Behringer VXM300 mixer, for $220 total.

so yea about $2000 CDN in total, all being bought from a US online store... www.djmart.com . Try to get a hold of DJ Tranz from the forums here, he can get deals!
