I guess this is the best place to post as all chippies are messy buggers

.
I'm thinking of getting a small Dust Collector for my workshop, any recommendations ? Models to avoid ? I did like the look of the kit at this site but think it's a little bit of overkill for a drunken DIY'er: http://billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/DustCollectionBasics.cfm

Just ordered a band saw. What other toys do I need ?

I may even have a go at making a cyclone for the dust, but not sure if the blower will be powerful enough. Could be a fun project anyhow
