That's definitely a high-end controller. Watch the price, you really only need an analog controller, which go for about $54.95. The analog controllers typically have a temp range of 30-80 degrees (F) and a built-in differential of 3 degrees.
 
I own several Ranco controllers, and they work great. You can get them for about $50, so don't get into too big a bidding war. You'll need an extension cord to cut in half in order to wire it.
 
Not a big fan of ebay, any suggestions where to pick up a cheap analog or should I just google and find the cheapest. Lowes/Home Depot have these?
 
A [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ranco+etc-111000&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq="]Google search[/ame] turns up several sources for Ranco controllers under $50. The [ame="http://www.northernbrewer.com/temp-control.html"]Johnson Controls analog units[/ame] are roughly the same cost.
 
I was going to try and rig something up myself but for that price you can't afford to buy the parts. Now I just have to wait for delivery.
