I will say though it's hard to stay motivated working out at home, that's why I'd suggest a gym membership and have just a weight pile when you can't make it there. This. If you get a machine, try to choose the one that takes up the least space, but holds the maximum amount of clothes hangers and stacks of folded clothes, since that's what most of them eventually wind up being used for, anyway.

Quit laughing...I think I broke something.

I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

If i was to get a set up for the house again I'd go with a smith machine(there's days i do heavy drop sets and could get into trouble without a spot if by myself) but also one that i can use as a normal rack and a stand-alone cable system that could be used for other movements. I don't have the room at my house anymore so i just pay for a membership to 24/E. For $35 a month I've got 24hr access(there are mornings i go at 330 or 4am),access to there many different fitness classes,unlimited tanning(don't need it as i work outside) and some very nice cardio equipment,and a ton of yoga pants running around. Now with that said,one day I'll have me another house setup. A Smith machine is one of the worst machines you can exercise on, when benching, it does not let the bar travel in a natural arc, and when you are squatting, it puts a tremendous amount of shear forces on your knees. Lift heavy with a Smith machine for a while and see what it does to your rotator cuffs and to your knees. If you are worried about spotting, use the bars in the power rack as safety stops. That's what they are for. Don't believe me about the Smith machine? Here's a quick Google search... Smith Machines are Bad
