I got this one:

It did the job quite well even with the shitty flux core wire and no MIG attachment.
It was "on sale" for $200 at the store from $269.
Well, notice that on the website it's $149. They gave me that price in the store - the website says they are reconditioned, not sure if the one in the store was or not. You have to tell them it's $149 on the website or you pay $200. Also they had to go digging for it in the back- all they had out was a similar machine, newer model or some shit that was more money.
Maybe I'll get the MIG setup sometime. For now, I got teh job done for cheap.
They had auto dark masks, too. Fucking killer. I will never use a regular one again holy shit that auto darkening is teh bomb.
PS fucking thing didn't have a plug on it. What's up with that, I had to go get one at Homo Despot on the way home.
