I have had two identical Coleman 10g beverage coolers for about 15 yrs. I only used one at a daughter's soccer games. Tonight, I converted the second to a MLT and can also convert the other one if I ever need to. I also have a Teel pump that I bought at least 15yrs ago to build a RIMS system I saw in BYO. I May use it to recirculate the wort. The finished product is pretty much the same as any other but here it is:

drilled copper pipe and the graduated marks in liters and gallons:
I will use a bag inside a 20qt steamer stockpot. I will place the bag on this to drain the wort:
The hot water test reveals no leaks
I built the sparge section 15yrs ago and never used it. EDIT 11/13 I won't use it as a sparge manifold. I may use it with a pump to simply recirculate wort for clarifying:
My heated stirrer can also be used to help the 100,000 BTU burner with boil:
My 40qt kettle:
