Need help on parts for trade estimate?

Oughta be worth a router, some Cat5, jacks and networking cards, eh? Most likely his expertise at getting the network up will be worth the most..*G*

Or, if wireless, a WAP and maybe one client...I'm assuming Wintel, which is less expensive..

I agree with Camachinest. The equipment can get a little expensive if your going wireless (a couple hundred bucks or more depending on number of PCs.) If he is running wiring (cat 5) that can be a pain in some homes (I charge $100 per drop for my clients, going rate around here is $100 -$150 per drop.) His expertise is as valuable or more so than the equipment. I charge $125 per hour for business networks, but would probably charge half that for home networking and probably even less for a fellow Mustang enthusiast. How many PCs are you networking? Do you have DSL or cable Internet?

I'm looking at networking at least 3 pc's maybe 4, and my laptop. I'm running a cable modem.
