What's the easiest way to setup a personal .NET web development environment?

So I work in .NET Development but wanted to do some of my own, personal development at home. I understand the need for source control and multiple development environments. Because I want to start developing right away without the headache of setting up a local, development, and production environment, is there an easy way, solution, or tutorial for setting up a barebones development workflow at home?

Note: I just finished purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Professional and SQL Server 2008 R2 Apologies for not letting everyone know that!

I would recommend installing the development tools you need with the Web Platform Installer. It has express versions of Visual Studio, SQL Server and many other tools.

For source control hosting, I like BitBucket since it offers free, private mercurial repositories and wiki and issue tracking.

You could also easily setup a local SVN repository with VisualSVN Server.

If you're looking for open source project hosting, there are many options available.

Download the Web Platform Installer from Microsoft. You can then install Visual Studio Express, MVC3, IIS Express and others from it and should be good to go "quickly" (after hours of installs / reboots)
