My brewing buddy just bought a Therminator to add to our setup... It's maiden voyage was 5 gallons of Yam Pie Holliday Ale. All I have to say is: HOLY CRAP!! Why didn't we buy one sooner! It cooled 5 gallons of boiling wort to 62 degrees in about two minutes!! Definitely one of the best investments we could have made...

MoreBeer sells a cheaper version here:

But since it's smaller, and with less plates, I'm not sure it would work as well...
