I ordered my first set of CDJs last week (they should be here Friday). I got two DN-S5000's. But, I haven't picked out a mixer.
Any suggestions on a 4-channel mixer under $200? The only thing I can seem to find is a Behringer DJX700; but, I've only heard bad things.

I've never had any problems with the DJX7000. Don't ask Silver's opinion on Behringer though LOL
I've used Behringer at home since I started, and never had any problems. The only thing I don't like about the DJX7000 is the fact that the mic channel is only routed to the Master out, and not the tape or monitor, which is cack for the radio lol

I second that, build quality is pretty bad. At one time I went through two of them in a week.
I'd been told exactly the same, that they're crap and I should avoid them.
Save up some cash and get a Pioneer DJM600, you wont be dissappointed.
I got mine two years ago and I'm still on the original crossfader.
The channel faders are smooth and precise, there are excellent EQ's and gain's on each channel (very sensitive, big +/- range too)
Unlike the Behringer, the FX module works!
Plus, the chances that you'll end up playing on one of these in a club are very high, so having one at home means that you'll know what you're doing the second you plug your heaphones in.
If you practice on the gear you'll be playing out on it's just like home from home and your mixes will benefit.

^^^It the pioneer DJM 600 i use and i use to think along the same lines
However after using the allen & heath xone 92 and wow the sound quality is amazing so much better than my DJM
Also had only a very short shot of the DJM 800 and **** me that is the shit!! Costing upwards of a grand but i know if i had the cash i would not hesitate
But mate i'd agree with what you said about the cross fader, EQ's etc. all spot on
Round my way the DJM 600 aint the industry standard now, and in the coming months maybe even a year i would be suprised if you see them in any club (or decent club not the local club that holds 500)
But to end my rant i ****ing love my DJM
