i bit the bullet and ordered a 15 gal conical from plasticmart. this is the fully draining version, 1 1/2 in. outlet. 170 shipped.
i picked up this 1 1/2 in SS ballvalve on ebay for 14.99, 23 and change shipped. pretty good deal, its in great shape.
next will be a nipple to thread on the valve. i havent decided if i'm going to put a racking arm on or not just yet.
i think i will be propping this bad boy up on some milk crates so i can gravity feed into kegs/secondaries.
edit: complete with racking port! total cost
conical w/stand:170 shipped
1 1/2 SS valve: 23 shipped
1 1/2 in cpvc nipple: 1.40
1/2 inch plastic bulkhead: 3.99, 11 shipped
1/2 in CPVC nipple: .75
1/2 in SS 3 pc ballvalve: 15.99 shipped
1/2 x 1/2 nipple: 4.99 shipped
so the total bill was around $230. works for me.
