I was going to recommend D-Link.

I've had a number of bad experiences with LinkSys wireless gear. I believe it 
is crap. Personally I'd look at NetGear next. I've read good things about 
Belkin. Their Pre-N router is supposed to be really good, but it may not 
support the real N standard when it comes out.

ViewSonic is #1 in my book. Never been sorry with them. If you go with a CRT 
monitor, make sure it is one of the "flat" CRTs. Makes a big difference on the 
larger screen sizes. I read good things about both Sony and Samsung.
