Yeah, had a feeling you were looking for a Ranco-ish type one. Well, it is available if any one wants it.

I bought a Ranco which is a digital controller and well respected around here. They are rather expensive ~$100 when bought through homebrew shops online or in person. I was able to find one for about $50 and simply have to wire an extension cord to it which is rather simple with tutorials around here.
RANCO ETC-111000 Microprocessor Temperature Control: RANC1 Climate Doctors
Ranco also makes a dual controller for controlling two fermenters. I thought that would be nice but it's essentially the same price as buying two regular Ranco controllers. With two separate controllers you have more flexibility with location and if one breaks you still have the other to rely on.

Someone here bought this and said it was working fine not as "manufactured" as a Ranco or Johnson but for 35$ who the hell cares as long as it works
