Your perfect home gym

[SurfOnSilver]

Ok, so this may be a repost, but I think its a pretty fun subject. I was thinking today about if I move away from my current gym, what I would do. I thought about maybe making my own gym, which got me thinking as to what I would have in it.

Anyway, here would be my ideal gym, please post yours because if I ever DO make my own gym, then maybe your input can help make it better =)

1. Heavy duty Power rack
2. Lifting Platform
3. Competition bench
4. Pull-up/dip station
5. Weight belt w/chain attachment
6. olympic coloured weights 1,000lb's worth
7. 7ft + 6ft olympic bar + E.Z. bar
8. Incline/decline bench
9. Dumbells, 20kg-80kg
10. 2.5kg clips
11. chains & bands
12. Box

Aaaand, as my only piece of cardio:

13. Versa-climber

I know not all of these are necessary, but imo this would be a GREAT gym, allowing almost endless possibilities, and would be amazing to have all to yourself =D

Thoughts?
