Moe is spot on.
You dont need the best computer, but a good soundcard and ram. As for mixers, im using my Djm-600 that i got with my 1200 mk2's and i find it does a great job. There are mixers out there now that illiminate the need for a midi controler, the Djm-800 and the upcoming Xone 3D come to mind but i actually prefer it with my UC-33e. I use the hardware mixer to controle all the lvls and the midi to controle all the effects that i use. The computer keyboard is mapped to trigger tracks, loops and random sounds i have recorded.
If you want the get the best out of this setup, you need an outboard soundcard with more than 2 individual outputs, i myself have the Firewire 410 and am loving the clarity im getting from it.
The only thing with this settup is it would take some time to set up in a club, its not like showing up just with a bag of records, you have to find a place for the computer (i use the Intel iMac 17", its portable but no laptop), find a place for the soundcard, the midi controler, the keyboard and the mouse. All this in a already crouded dj booth. Its the only setback of playing this way.
But as far as creativity, it TOTALLY blows TTs and CDJs out of the water, take it from me, im not just some n00b who started with Traktor, i started pushing vinyl just like the rest of us.
