I need things.

kellyblahWell, I need things in that special, lap of comfort way. I certainly won't die without this stuff. I'd like, or perhaps, I would be pleased with, maybe that's a nicer way to put it. Oh, and I'd like advice or opinions.
Anyhow, I am looking to purchase a new WAP or wireless router, a "home" NAS, but I am partial to the ones with RAID0 or 1 capabilities and print serving, and a colour laser printer (maybe). I was looking at Linksys for the first two, just the plain ole W45G/s for the wireless, unless there is some earthshattering reason to spend more than $50 on that, and then the two-bay 10/100 wired NAS. I don't think it does printing, but if there is a cheap colour laser printer that comes with a NIC (or has a cheap NIC purchased separately) I am perfectly happy with that. A lot of the NAS in a box do have the print server piece, but they are single drive.
As far as the whole home colour laser printer, that's more my husband. Between the website work & the bands, he does a lot of printing. I am still trying to work out whether this is actually cheaper that Kinko's... sure, the printer says it will print 20 sheets a day for a month or two before running out of toner, but he is printing full page -whole thing, covered in toner. Not docs or anything with a lot of whitespace.
