Also you really do not need a water cooler. If you start welding several hours a day and the duty cycle is too small than and only then would I blow $400 on a water cooler.
the nice thing about the alpha 200x tig is it can run on 110v or 220v , that saves you hundreds on an electrician. In the future if you ever need to weld metal thicker than about 1/8" aluminum then you can pop for a 220v outlet, but that day will likely be far off if ever.
basically you could get a very capable set up for half what you projected to begin wtih.
the ahp alpha machine has very good reviews on amazon by the way. if you ever come down to charlotte, i can give you some tig lessons.
this advice is from someone that spent thousands on an expensive lincoln precision tig 275, water cooler, and the whole nine yards and then got a cheap longevity 160x which in hindsight what I should of got for the 10 hrs or so of welding that we do each week, it is more than capable, lighter and easier to use.
