well, haven't tried these, but according to the <shudder> linuxformat magazine 
</shudder> http://mrbs.sourceforge.net is a wonderful room and equipment

well, £4k will buy installation by outside geek, a lot of support (peace of 
mind for people who don't understand the concept of diy, self-help and long 
term sustainability), training (for those who do understand long-term
