Hi Vincent,
Welcome! While many people here make their own equipment, I prefer to buy mine. Usually used, or last year's models.
For basic molecular biology, here's a beginner list:
An electrophoresis unit (for running DNA on gels)
A small "personal" centrifuge.
A source of long wave UV light. Small handheld units are not expensive.
A pH meter, or you can substitute paper pH strips
A refrigerator (don't use food fridge)
A freezer (don't use food freezer)
Pipettors
Culture tubes or plates (I like tubes)
Petri plates.
Stuff you probably don't need right off but you might want later:
A PCR machine (depends on what you want to do)
Stirring hot plate
autoclave
Something to photograph the gels (gel doc system or jury rigged web cam)
incubator
Check Ebay, Amazon, Craigslist. Remember it might take a while to find all the pieces if you're looking for a good deal.
If you let us know what types of projects you'd like to work on, we'd be happy to give you some more specific advice.
