Ok, this is what I want...

1. A durable 2 Turntable/Mixer setup, that will allow me to scratch for hobby.
2. Something I can use like a record Player, so I can listen to my fav. Records for leisure.
3. Something that I can hook up to my DAW, to track scratches, and sample, for production purposes.

Now I want it to be GOOD QUALITY, or at least DECENT, but I am on a budget...
I found this, and thought it looked like a good thing for what im looking for, am I right?

Now I have a question. What will I need to get to track stuff from here into my DAW, because I don't have an MPC, so I can't sample from one, I sample from PC, but theres a problem, my sound card is crap... Will I have to upgrade? Also is this durable enough, to where I can safely use it to just listen to music for leisure on it, and will I have to buy some speakers? If so, could you reccomend some good speakers?
Also a DJ Table, or something to put it on, if you know of any good cheap ones, I would appreciate that too. :D
Thanks. 8)

as far as mixers theres a bunch my personal choice is "vestax" but thats me, others will say different and you need to see whats go for you,

rane is a great one too. but you have to remeber all these others are after one leader and vetsax as been around longer, it started off as stanton mixers back in the earlie 90's then it was taken over by vestax and then stanton magnetics came after,
but really they have gotten better with time and the dj revolution that has sprung up over the last 15yrs better stronger mixers, i'm oldschool so i'm tellin you from what i still got and use and i put work on my stuff there my work mule's.
think about it.
