I'm still thinking he needs about $3,000 worth of vinyl..

2x Technics with Ortofon Nightclubs
If you've got a laptop, I'd skip the CDJs and get SSL. Otherwise 2x CDJ-1000)
Ecler Nuo 5
Sony 7506 headphones
Speakers - I dunno much about them, but I do like JBL Eons (maybe not really suitable as monitors though)

Ok so I have some headphones already and the vinly is covered got about eh 500/600 records.

My current set up is:
2 Technics M5G
2 Pioneer CDJ 1000MK2
1 Pioneer DJM-600
Those Sony headphones dont know the model...the ones everyone has if they have Sony
2 Sony Bookself Speakers
1 Pioneer Amp

^What Im looking to do is keep the same turntables, same CDJ's, new mixer maybe a Xone:92 or something, Sony same. New speakers....my second pair of the bookself cuz I blew out the previous ones(they're cheap though). Same amp or better.

Ill most likely go over 5grand but I can go over a little I could probably afford another grand or 2 but be broke but its no problem lol. I really want to build a custom DJ stand. I have a friend that can build me one for 200 bucks.

So in the end Im thinking:

2 Technics M5G
2 Pioneer CDJ 1000mk2
1 Xone:92
Sony Headphones(i can also just take them from my other place save money there)
Maybe some Blueroom or Bluepod speakers (forget the exact model but featured in DJ Mag 4 months ago)
Amp....
DJ Stand
Mac with ProTools/Cubase/Reason/etc(I already have this)

everyone thought you were starting from scratch! LOL

you already have the best TTs and CDJs on the market.

upgrade your mixer
buy a laptop with ableton
build a dj stand
buy powered monitors and buy speakers

Upgrade the mixer... atleast Xone:92 (Linear or Rotary is at your discretion)

Heaphones is your choice.

Upgrade the monitors... get Event TR-8XL or Mackie HR-824 or if you really want to go up, Event SPN-8. You dont need amp's with any of these monitors since they all have amp's built in.

As for getting a laptop... you might want to hold off until next year, Apple is going to be making new laptops with new Intel CPU's, and they are supposed to be unbelieveable. If youre impatient, go for a Powerbook with Ableton.

Haha no Im kinda like in the phase between bedroom -> local club DJ since I play in Switzerland and Italy about 20 times a year...

I have a Powerbook G4 but need to get some more HD space....

Yeah thinking of the XONE:92 one of the clubs I play at has that and I love it. I was going to get the DJM-1000 but its a long story(ebayscam)

OK. Check the manual for the Xone:92. Now check the specs on the Sony MDR-V700DJ. Notice any discrepencies? If you don't believe the specs, then attach some 700s to a Xone:92 and listen to the craptacular sound. For more evidence, check out the Xone DJ Forums.

Anyway, InterMilan, if you do get a Xone:92, you're gonna have to replace those Sonys. ANY of the other top brands are compatible (Pioneer, Technics, Sennheiser, Ultrasone).

Funny that people outside of Europe (or Holland) still believe Technics is the best TT there is
