Help! I'm seriously considering picking up some computer certs, which ones should i go after?

Please list the top 10, or less, computer certs that one should obtain. Please note that i currently have no certifications, but consider myself an adept computer hack. I can fix, troubleshoot, and repair computers, both their hardware and software.

So, what say the computer experts on this thread? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

What share you?

ethical hacker certification for the win.

What are you looking to accomplish? That will matter in the end. Money and effort will be expended, make sure you are aiming in the right direction.

As much as I hate the thing, Windows certification is never a bad thing. Just make sure you maintain a cynical edge.

Red Hat or other Linix cert. I think Novell has one as well. Linux is rising, and many servers run Linux.

SQL The database is everywhere in many forms. Learn your database.

Beyond that I do not know being the non-computer professional that I am.
