I have Alien Bees equipment. You can find them at AlienBees: Illuminating the Galaxy with Professional Photographic Lighting Equipment
I have the following:
2x AB800 Strobes
2x 10ft Light Stands
1x Vagabond Power/Inverter
1x RFT1TX transmitter
2x RFT1TX receiver
1x 24x36" softbox
1x silver/white umbrella (which got bent to hell when the wind caught it and blew the whole setup over yesterday, luckily it didn't break the flash)
Random Extension Cords
An Interfit bag that is a little too small for everything to fit in.
There's probably more random little stuff that I'm forgetting too.
Basically, I have the "DigiBee" package, plus the Vagabond ($300), the foldable softbox ($120), the wireless triggers ($125ish) and a bag.

Oh yeah, I have an SB-600 and a wireless slave for that too.. and an umbrella bracket so I can put it on my light stands. With my D200 I can fire it manual, and it will meter through the lens... pretty cool stuff. Nowhere near as powerful as the Alien Bees though.

Yes, but the SB's figure out their own exposure and they're a lot more portable. The AB's are a pain to set up. The other thing to think about - you can buy Vivitar 285's for $90 ea. For $300 you could have a setup similar to my AB setup with less power.
A lot of guys don't ever upgrade from that point, you can do a lot with it.
