Dj Turntable Mp3

Where can I find advice as to what DJ equipment to buy for a new DJ in the MP3 world?
I was a DJ back in the day of, “Two turntables and a microphone,” but I want to get back into the DJ business. I am have a laptop and a home computer and am interested in what type of DJ equipment to get if I want to DJ with my laptop and CDs instead of lugging around the “coffin” with my turntables. I am all for buying used equipment if it is reliable and while I want to go lean and inexpensive that doesn’t mean I want to go cheap and low quality. Any suggestions?
I’ve been using Traktor 3 and a Faderfox controller for over a year now, and it’s never let me down. You can do so much more with MP3′s than vinyl that I’ll rarely even bring my records to a gig anymore. CD’s are OK, but again, it’s another 10-20 pounds to lug on your shoulder, and you have to be able to know how to work all kinds of CD units. Also, if you’re up for the MP3 route, keep your eyes on Vestax-they’re about to release a Traktor dedicated controller that’s looking meeeean at the moment: http://vestax.com/v/products/players/vci100.html
