These are the Update International pots - I linked to them earlier in 100qt version but you can get the 80qt's for about 160 bucks per with free shipping from instawares. Note that kit only includes 2 pots. For 480 you could have 3 pots, then another 100 for the FB, valves are cheap (get them from bobby_m), then the only thing not accounted for is couplings which you'll probably want to get then have welded in. So for a few more bucks, you get an extra pot out of it and then you can setup the couplings however you want.

How much beer you drink is like Sex as long as it’s good, wholesome, doesn’t have a lot of off flavors, and is available when you want it its great. How much you actually drink is up to the individual. In both cases it’s preferred to have an excess and a variety on hand at all times.
 
Well, when you drink 4-5 pints a night... 15 gallons doesn't take you through a month. ;) Count in spillage here and there, and the fact you may not have quite 15 gallons after racking off the yeast.... You get the picture.

This is the exact reason I'm building a Brutus 10... started the welding yesterday, but that's a different story.
