building a small editing studio

I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on what hardware I should consider aside from computer, NLE and camera (I have a Mac G5, FCP 4.5 and DVX100a).

I'm building a small editing studio in which I'll need to:

--Edit DV (maybe some NTSC, but mostly for interactive CD-ROMS)

--Record voice-overs

--Tape talking heads (with option of either backdrop or greenscreen and proper lighting)

--Display comps and concepts to clients (maybe a projector and screen)


Also, some advise on:

--Video and audio monitors (not top-of-the-line, but decent)

--DV decks

--Sound mixers

--Mics

--Lighting

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Drew
 
Need more info..IE budget you plan to spend and what type of quality are you looking at. The sky is the limit but there is no one answer since everyone has different needs and types of work for they do. IE Wedding vs Documentary. etc..

Budget-- Don't yet know my budget, but I am going to get the equipment I need. So, budget aside...

Quality-- Mostly video on interactive CD-ROMS at first, with the ability to do NTSC DVD. Content will include detailed vehicle studio shots, interviews with automotive designers, execs, media personnel. My primary focus will be the home studio and talking heads, minus the studio vehicle capability.
