So I've been searching the net for components needed to build an all grain brewing kit for cheap.
I know it's not all cheap, but I tried not suffer quality for a better price.
Note: not all listed here is what I brew with. If you're missing a component, or haven't gotten into All grain yet, I figured I would do the searching and work for ya. I started off with extract brewing with my Grandpa...figured it was time to go all out. Hopefully Yuri doesn't move this to the Extract brewing forum...
Burner and 30qt pot: 39.99 Academy Sports and outdoors www.academy.com
Comes with thermometer, burner, and burner stand.
Brew pot is made from aluminum (good if you only brew about 1 time a month)
other than that.....go with steel.
Mash tun: 49.99 From www.brewd00d.com
28qt with collection manifold and faucet, plus 15'' of tubing.
Bottles: Free...
tell your friends you want them! Make sure they are not twist off caps.
Sanitize them religiously.
Corona Grinder: 55.00 www.flatfenderbrewing.com
You can find these used all day for cheaper....this is the price for a new one.
Flatfenderbrewing is about the best site you can find for selection and price.

Immersion wort chiller: 49.95 www.midwestsupplies.com
Its made from stainless steel. If you want copper, it might cost you a little more. You can find these used for a little cheaper. Remember I'm listing all new parts!
Bottle rinser: 14.95 www.flatfenderbrewing.com
Bottle dryer: 15.95 www.flatfenderbrewing.com
This is basically a very good start. I know I left out a lot of odds and ends.

If you'll can find stuff for cheaper...let me know! I've got a few friends that want to get into homebrewing...I could pass the info on!
P.S. of course everything can be found used....
