Mobile spotter bars for a bench press and a Squat Stand. If I had a lot more room - Power rack.
Chin up bar / Ceiling beam / Doorway beam for pull ups/chin ups (or attachment for rack)
150kg to 200kg of Cheap olympic plates to start with if I was starting out. Since I'm not, I'd just buy 100-200kg of calibrated bumpers for large plates, and smaller 5s 2.5s etc for adjustments.
Cheap 20kg olympic bar (actually not too easy to find)
Spinlock dumbells + 4 small plates that fit the bar (can load oly plates on them no probs for extra weight)
A lot of wood and some gym flooring for a lifting platform. 2 levels to make sure it's all even when installed.
I have just put my home gym together at home. Pretty basic but it does what I need...includes power rack (home made job, with spotter arms etc) few things to finish off on the rack yet like my standing calf press and dip handles
Also a incline/decline bench, hyperextension. Made my own land mine so I can do t-bar rows. 7ft oly bar. Also have a sorted amount of Olympic weights and standard weights for dumbells.

Exactly what white lie mentioned. I just use the v bar. But made my own base to pivot on that wedges into a corner. Probably will modify this again in future so it can attach to my power rack.
