Well I will be doing a demo of the kit on sunday, and if people are interested I will see If I can help anyone get stuff working and also source the stuff. The kit I am using is Cisco kit, which, IMHO is the best you can get.
Let me know if your interested.
Thanks

PS The price ain't bad either, can be as little as �150 an end
Thanks for your advice, everyone. Much appreciated.
