I'm a college student in Atlanta, and I've managed to get a $200 gift for a welder. While I could probably add some to this and spend as much as $400-$500 I would really like to keep the costs down as much as possible. All I am really wanting to weld is small stuff like computer cases and automotive body panels. I have been looking at several migs, but am not sure. While I realize my price-range is nowhere near tig level, I would really like a mig that is gas capable. I was just curious if anybody had any input on a good semi-entry level model. I am not at all opposed to used equiptment or even buying stuff off ebay, I just don't know what to get.
In my searches, I have come across this one. It's normally $400, but it's on sale right now for $200.
