I bought all of the stuff from the 80/20 store on e-Bay, you can get stuff pretty reasonably there.
Here is the updated picture with the new SS RIMS tube and the control box:
I also added a PID to control the flow to the hot water heater, and thus the temperature of the output. I just dial in my strike and sparge water temps now and it puts out water at the desired temperature. Here are the solenoid valves and plumbing:
The system as a whole is literally amazing to brew on. I can be mashing in about 5 minutes usually, sparge water takes no planning at all. And a batch with a 60 minute mash and a 60 minute boil can be done in under 3 hours with very little touch time.
