Wire Your Office For Less Than $4K

Digital Camera

Once you get your site up and running, you can use the Camedia D-100 digital camera ($299) by Olympus to add photos to your site. The D-100 features a 5.5mm f2.8-f11 auto-focus lens and can transfer photos to your PC easily via a standard USB connection-you won't even have to install drivers or load additional software if you're running Windows 2000 or Me. The D-100 ships with an 8MB SmartMedia card and USB cable.

Just for Fun

With all the money you've saved, you'll be able to splurge on a gadget that will help set the mood in your new office-and give you the opportunity to showcase your latest work. The Kodak Smart Picture frame ($350) holds up to 36 digital picture files, which can be rotated as often as every five seconds or as infrequently as once a day. The frame features a CompactFlash slot for additional memory.

So there you have it-virtually everything you need to get your home office up and running. Of course, you'll want to figure in additional costs for things like office supplies and any additional equipment you need for your particular business, but in general, this list will help you transform that spare bedroom into a fully functional home office in no time.
