I frequent another wood forum but felt like I'd get some opinions here as there seems to be quite a few discussions on the topic here and the answers have been quite forthcoming. I appreciate anyone's time and opinion on this matter.
I've put off getting a dust collector for many years thinking it was something I never really needed. (Vacuum up the dust and wood chips later mentality) Well, after reading many posts and a few websites out there on the matter, I've learned that was stupid thinking all along and I was possibly hurting not only my own health but possibly my boys. So... can you guys suggest a system for me to purchase and put together?

I would like to add a Cyclone system that will vent to the outside. I imagine I would only be able to vent to the right of the workshop which is fine. I'm no where near my neighbor.
I'd like to keep it under $1500 (including the ductwork) if possible. I assume I do not need it to collect "all" the dust as it will vent outside.
I own 8" jointer, 13" planer, tablesaw, CMS, Bandsaw, Router (everything has a standard 4" hole except the jointer currently has a 6".
