I bought one from Home brew stuff when I first started making all grain. It is a wide kettle, a bit thin, but it works well for what I use it for.
My main Kettle is a Bayou Classic 8 gallon kettle with a ball valve, this kettle is a taller, more narrow kettle with gallons and half gallon marks pressed into the kettle. It heats up faster than the wider kettle from Home brew stuff.

This kettle look identical to the I purchased from More Beer. I believe I paid $110 without thermo. The first one I got developed a pin hole and was accepted back. I have brewed 14 - 5 gasllon batches with ther replacement kettle with out a problem. Good Luck

I just picked up a 32-qt stainless steel stock pot on my way through the Coachella Valley from Best Buy Restaurant Supply in Thousand Palms, CA (off Interstate 10, near Palm Springs). I paid $81.84 out the door.
It has a thick, encapsulated-aluminum bottom, and seems reasonably heavy duty. For example, each handle has 4 rivets, and 10 pin-prick spot welds. The lid alone is heavier than a lot of the non-cast iron pots I own...
I told the clerk I was going to use it to brew beer, and she replied, "that's what a lot of people buy them for. Also, Italian people buy them to make sauces in, because tomatoes are hard on aluminum."
Off to the hardware store tomorrow to buy a step-drill, so I can install a no-weld ball valve. I'm going to steal the one from the bottling bucket I made last month; I guess this pot will be my brew kettle and bottling bucket both.
add: this is the same kettle I just bought; I looked it up on Amazon.

I went down to a recycling center today, and paid the yard boy $15.00 for an old lawn edger with a Tecumseh motor; I needed a carburetor for my chipper/shredder. While we were negotiating that deal, I spotted a 10 qt stainless steel pot under a table. It was covered with thick black greasy crud, and full of rainwater and random junk, but I could see a shine peeking out here and there.. So I told the yard boy, "and I'll give you five bucks for that old pot there." He looked at me like I was crazy and dumped it out; I handed him a twenty; and I headed for my pickup carrying the pot in one hand and pushing the old edger with the other.
The pot looked pretty gruesome when I got it home; the crud in and on it was so thick and sticky I had trouble getting it off my fingers, even with some good hand cleaner. But it was a Chefmate.
So I sank it in a sink of hot water, and added Sun Oxygen Cleaner and dish soap. An hour later, I wiped it down and rinsed it; I didn't even have to scrub except to get the label off. It shines like a mirror and looks brand new, so it's going into my dedicated brew gear. Seems like I'm always grabbing an extra pot to heat water in, or soak something in Starsan, or....
Oh - and the carburetor? I boiled it out, installed it on the chipper/shredder, and fired up the engine. I was in the middle of fine-tuning the adjustments, when I completely lost spark for no obvious reason. !@#$%^....
It's a good thing I don't have to pay myself by the hour for the time I've put into that furshlugginer machine this week, after letting it set in the weather for a year.
