Spiral Saw or Router??
ericball:
My only suggestion is to go corded (and variable speed) rather than cordless for your first drill. Why? Grunt power. I don't care how many volts is in the battery pack, a corded drill has 100+VAC and 10+Amps to draw on if necessary. Cordless is great when you are working in places where there are no outlets handy, but the rest of the time I plug in.
Oh, and there's the safety side. When changing bits I unplug just in case.
My dad says I can have his drillpress & tablesaw when he finishes his basement. Now I just have to figure out where to put them in my basement & how to ship them cheaply cross country.

I'd substitute a Jigsaw for the Circular saw, because although it is slower, it can make all the cuts you need for a cabinet.

I built my last cab using just a Sabre saw (JigSaw).

My vote is...

I caved last night and bought a router. I found one on sale at Home Depot (Ridged) that had three bases (plunge, fixed and some other one) for $87. 2HP and both 1/4 and 1/2 collets. Not a bad price IMO.
