Would this be a good 'starters' studio kit?
I'm just now getting interested into strobes, and studio lighting. I have nothing as of now, lighting wise. Would this be a wise kit to start with?

Oh and I have a Nikon D200, and was woundering if this will work with it too?
Look at Alien Bees.
The drawback to low budget lights is the flash tube only lasts from 8k-25k flashes. At 40.00 a tube, it quickly gets expensive. The Alien Bees tube lasts for 250k flashes. More expensive up front, cheaper to operate.
The other thing with cheap lighting is the stands and supports are flimsy. A year later, it's almost a worthless setup. Buy Bogen light stands, and they will last.
If you're going to cut costs, do it with the soft boxes and umbrellas. Ebay has some decent quality units that are cheaper.
First we have to know how much experience you have using artificial lighting.
If this is your first time using any kind of studio lighting, you will find that a set of incandescent lights will help you "see" what the lights are doing while lighting your objects. Even pros use a flash meter when using studio flash units and those can cost more than a two light incandescent lighting kit with umbrellas and stands.
If you have a lot of experience using studio lighting, then look here for the most popular studio flash heads, power supplies and light modifiers.

Sekonic makes one of the most popular flash meters

The number of lamp or flash heads you need will have a lot to do with the subjects or objects you are shooting.
When shooting in the studio, I have used from one to over 35 different lighting sources (I have six flash heads and four incandescent lamps, so rent more if I need them)
Not sure I would go for this. Look at alien bees instead or check out the recommendations from http://strobist.blogspot.com
Actually just go over to the Strobists vblog and read his lighting 101 articles, they are well worth the read and he recommends some gear there.
