Ok, let me just emphasize small ...

I was just wondering what you all think I would need to get nice clean pictures ...

The above are examples of what I would be shooting ...

I am going to build something like that ... wood outside with a white sheet inside ...

basically will only be used for tech hardware like in the pictures above.

You think I can get away with natural light from the window and just adjust my exposure settings to get nice and clean pictures?

Nopes. You need atleast one Flash to blow out the backgound into white. If this is what you are looking for.

Hi there,
Depending on your budget you can start with a 1 or 2 light kit, these are pretty cost effective and I've had great success with them for a couple years now
