What strobes are best for a home photo studio?

I'd like to be able to move them too. I have a Nikon D60. I'm not sure what I should look for particularly.

Why strobes? What kind of images are you taking? How will you hook them up to a D60? Look into the day light floresent (sp) lights. You can get nice ones for less then any good flash and with soft boxes and stands.

What fits through your door? If you say elephants…

Contrary to popular belief, size matters in lighting: þ I'd agree you're probably better off with hot-lighting if on a budget and if your subjects aren't too heat sensitive… You can get creative with the flagging and diffusing.

Otherwise, it's a complex question. How big a room? Painted how? What size of subject? What distance on the strobes? What kind of diffusion? How much depth-of-field (critical!).

I like the upper White Lightning and Alien Bees; and the electric-chair variable pack Normans, but I'd need to know what you have in mind… Watt-seconds depend on all of the above.
