Get a PC and a decent soundcard. Or a Mac if you prefer them. Look around on 
places like the computer music and electronic musician web site for 
soundcard reviews, I would recommend one but I've had the same one for years 
and I'm not really up on what's out there, although I find mine very good. 
It's an Echo Layla. Might be a bit pricey/high end if you're just getting 
started, depends how much $$ you have and how serious you are.

A lot of people will tell you to get reason or fruity loops but I say fuck 
that if you're in any way serious. They're an okay way to started I guess 
but it can take so long to master a program you mgiht as well start with the 
real deal now and get the learning curve out of the way. Get a good audio 
editor like soudnforge, then a sequencing/audio app like cubase, logic or 
pro tools.

After that, yu might wanna think hardware. if you primarily want to make 
DnB, then a sampler is a logical step. I would recommend an EMU. They're 
simply the best sounding samplers out there, period and the reaosn is 
simple: proprietary, patented filters and other goodies make em tick.

Of course, you're going to need a sound baord sooner or later. If money is 
no object, go for a Mackie 1604 right out the chute. If you're less serious, 
geta  used mackie 1202 on ebay - you can pick one up for about $200. I 
recommend Mackie boards, although if you're a high roller Allen and Heath 
have some nice products.

Have fun.
