I wanna be just like AC with his plasma cutter but I'm on an Amazon budget.  I doubt I'll cut more than 1/8th but if I have 220v ability to cut thicker then great.  My biggest concern would be reliability and how easy to get consumables.  What do you guys like?

My nephew bought the cheapest one that he could find and he went crazy with it cutting everything. He says he'd like to upgrade eventually but he's been pretty happy with the cheap one. As a bonus, he was just learning to weld and this was the gateway to a bunch of welding projects. 
 

One of his first projects was a brush and leg cutter.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I bought one from Eastwood about three years ago, and I've never even opened the box.

Yeah, I have one. Details are in my plasma table thread, but basically it works fine and seems solid. No complaints.

So you just randomly grabbed one off Amazon?

Yeah, it was the cheapest one with a CNC port, branded as a "Hynade". Aside from the poorly translated instructions, it's been great.

My plasma cutter came with a TIG and Stick welder built in.
