I've edited your list for you.


POWER RACK. (Most important thing)
Lifting platform
235kg olympic set
olympic bars and collars
floor mats
treadmill
free weight bench(already got)
mma equipment, 6ft punch bag
floor to ceiling ball
speed ball
grappling dummy
sparring stuff, and mma stuff like bands and ab wheel. etc.

Smith machines are next to useless, and resistance cables won't help you nearly as much as freeweights, while costing far more.

Can I get ripped using a cable (aka pulley) machine at the gym?

I'm 5'11", 170 lbs, and am in pretty good shape. When I work out, I typically use free weights, supplementing with machines like the leg press (because I'm scared of squats), etc.

Recently I've been going to a crappy community gym cause it's so close to home. They have limited equipment, though they do have a really nice cable machine on which I can do crossovers, lat pulls, chest press, etc -- the machine has long adjustable arms, so there are a ton of configurations.

I can really push myself with that machine, but I'm wondering if it's going to severely limit my muscle growth. I just want to be fit and lean with above average musculature, but nothing too freaky. Is it possible to get a full, muscle-growth-inducing workout on this baby?

Ummm I think you would be better off getting free weights and a bench and use them at home. Those machines will help, but to get big beautiful muscles like the men in the gym.. you need to lift free weights.. I mean they say boflex machines are OK, but those results you see on TV are not typical, heck they probably aren't real.. You should buy Muscle magazine..
