I'm young, a new home owner and need a safe that won't break the bank.

First, I have a somewhat small area in the master bedroom closet (walk-in) that I'd like a safe that offers some fire protection and basic security protection. I live in a safe, professional neighborhood with a low crime rate. My biggest worry is some little mom&dad@work-too-much-kid will break-in and find one of my guns. I'm not too worried about safe-crakers or wise criminals. If they find me, I'm insured. ( I know that may seem course, but I don't have funds nor room for some monster underground titanium wonder safe & I'll probably move again in 4-6yrs)

I need to store perhaps 6-8 pistols, 5 long guns and maybe some on-hand cash, & a computer cd for records.

Sams Club has a Winchester safe for for $700 but it's a bit big for my taste. My range has a selection of safe but no pricing on them. I plan to stop by and chat with them this week, but, what are the right questions to ask?
