The cheapest regulator

[pmcarbrey]

After reading through what I feel are dozens of threads on regulators and researching extensively I've come to the conclusion that I still don't know enough to be comfortable buying anything but a premade high end regulator, my question to everyone is what is the cheapest regulator out there that I can use with a co2 tank (refilling price and/or size isn't an issue, I have a 50lb tank in my garage that I use to refill) and won't decide to die on me and gas all my fish?
I'm hoping to spend <$100, but reality is beginning to sink in and I don't think I'll get away with that

I saw that regulator, it just seems almost too cheap, is it reliable? Or precise to any reasonable degree?

Check out the aquatek on [Ebay Link Removed] They have a regular CGA320 and a paintball version. $79.99 shipped. Seems most have had good luck with it. The main complain is that the needle valve isn't the greatest, but that can be upgraded later.

It is an ASA paintball valve, cost less than $30 is you know what parts to get.

adjust the flow rate is a PITA, no solenoid can be used with this kind of "regulator".
