LOL...Anyone could build an undercurrent knock off for 1/4 the price. The only component that is hard to find is the new black 8 & 13 gal modules. Actually its not hard if you want to buy a trailer load of them.

Or you could just use totes? The ruffneck black ones are great, and I think they make a 10 gallon.

That's a list for two separate 6 module systems, both with epi's.
Epicenter comes w any full undercurrent system. Plus air pump, water pump, etc. If you get a bare bones kit it's just buckets and piping. I did the DIY version, but went w undercurrent for the bulkheads. Don't get the kit w the uniseals... Go w the bulkheads, no leaking, no lining to put together, no bs or frustration. The bulkheads have 3 seals. (2 o ring and a flat washer) well worth the extra $ if going DIY. Oh and the newer undercurrent buckets are black, that's the kits w the bulkheads.
Meta, don't skip on a chiller. It'll save you a ton of headaches. You need lots of disolved oxygen, you ghet that w the right res temp. I setup 2 systems and use wort chillers ( a home brew item) daisy chained together so i can have 1 chiller doing both systems. Plus you need to plan on either a sterile res. or a bacterial one. You'll find guys w opinions on both schools of thought.
