Well you need around $5K to start if you want something to sound decent. You need a workstation, either a roland fantom or a korg triton. To sequence I prefer the MPC2500XL over a computer based program because it is hands on and I hate using a computer mouse. Get some monitors and a Mackie board and you will need to record so get some software like Cubase or Pro Tools LE. You should be good after that.
Here's something I produced with a Triton and MPC

I just started producing, so I bought some good but budget-friendly equipment. Get a Tascam US-144 USB audio interface, buy an M-audio O2 midi controller, then download some bootleg versions of software like Cubase or Reason from the Internet. Also, buy a set of Tascam monitors, they have some for about $100. That whole rig will cost about $400.
