                        Scoot I've seen the same comp. in my LHS and it looks to have pretty much everything that you would need.

                        I run a Werther 3 with a Paasche moisture trap. The Werther I bought in the UK for about a oner, the moisture trap I ordered fom the US, cost me about £20. Here's a link to where I got mine:

                        Arguably the Ripmax is a more straightforward purchase, and one I can't imagine you'd have any problems with.
