I got a Kodak C300 for about $90.  It is easy to use and upload pictures to the internet and emails.  If you don't know a thing about cameras it is a good place to start, it's virtually "idiot proof".

Linksys and Dlink are both good.  You'll want one with a 4-port or more switch included.  Wired is best if you can drill holes and run cat-5 ethernet through the house, especially for gaming.  Wireless can be difficult to run reliably.  "B" band is the same frequency range as your microwave, so your connection  can die if you use it.  If you go wireless, make sure you learn how to secure it so your neighborhood doesn't connect to it :)

buy a linksys wireless access point and if you want it for your laptop get a pcmcia card for it, also made by linksys. if its for a desktop there is a card with an antenna sticking out of it that you can install in your system. i have one and it works great. if you want a larger coverage area, you can buy a range expander

No, it's not hard to set a security camera up. They are wireless and only need to run the cd that comes with it. You can set it to take pictures, at intervals, or set it up to run all the time, or only when something is moving, to start the camera. They are a very good investment, and you don't have to worry about it, once you have it set up..click it>>\nhttp://www.homesecuritystore.com/ezStore123/DTProductZoom.asp?productID=1253

Make sure you know what you want to listen to and what frequencies they use.\n\nEven if you buy a cheap one, you might be wasting your money if everything around you is on a digital 800 mhz trunked system (like my county) that requires a $500 scanner. \n\nAnyway best deals are garage sales, close-outs (Radio Shack, wal-mart),  and as mentioned, eBay.

You could build a tracking device. Get a GPS chip and track whatever you want and use google maps to display where your tracker is. Or how about building your own Tivo. Or maybe build your own Ipod. Good luck.

Check out http://www.mikrotik.com/ they have some nice outdoor access points and also some with two wireless cards so you can do repeating also.\n\nFor the clients I would suggest http://www.tranzeo.com\nThey have some kick but wireless radios.\nI have personally used the TR-CPQ-19f for site surveys and they work really well.

I'm sure this is a question that will result in a lot of personal preferences.  Nonetheless, I'll give you mine.  The Linlsys WRT300N is the ultimate in wireless networking concerning speed and distance.  The Linksys WRT54GX4 is probably the best buy for the moment as it has great range and probably supports anything you already have.  My favorite however, is the Linksys WRV54G.  This is wireless, wired, and has VPN capabilities that allow you to log into your home network and shared drives over the internet from wherever you are.  Hope this helps a little.
