This has been asked a thousand times, at least twice this past week. Please use the search next time. Anyway I'll just copy and paste my last response:
I would go for this chamber:

If not this one, then a stainless steel one, the bell plastic chambers are not good if you have a heat pad or something in it.
Go for this vac pump:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005CO9GX6/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1375793140&sr=1-5&pi=AA160
You could get one cheaper there on amazon or eBay, it's up to you, but I recommend a 3 CFM pump or higher.
This hot plate is battery powered, fits in the chamber, and can keep a pretty good constant low temp:

Hopefully this gets you started in the right direction, there are many many options for a nice vac set up, I'm sure if you look around you'll find good deals.
Don't waste your time on a brake bleeding kit. Hand pumps take constant strenuous pumping to reach -29mm/hg and they aren't meant for that sort of constant use. I went through 3 hand pumps that each lasted a maximum of 3 weeks before I sucked it up and bought an electric pump. You can find them on amazon for around $100. Best purchase I've ever made.
Here's a 3.0 cfm single stage robinair that would be more than sufficient (I use a 1.5 cfm and it pulls the necessary vac in seconds). http://www.amazon.com/Robinair-15310-VacuMaster-Single-Stage/dp/B005CO9GX6/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1343111350&sr=8-7&keywords=vacuum+pump
If you can afford them, an older US-made RobinAir pump is considered by many to be the highest quality pump you can buy, but they're not cheap. For stabilizing, I use a modern RobinAir 15310 that I bought on Amazon for $70 on sale. It works fine, although it does blow a fine oil mist into the air occasionally (use it outside).
I also have two Glass Vac chambers from Best Value Vacs (purchased on Amazon) in 3 & 5 gallon sizes. Perfect for pouring in a gallon or two of resin and stabilizing anything up to about 10" in diameter. The aluminum pots are easy to empty and clean after stabilizing.
The only downside is that I can't stabilize long pieces, since it has to fit reasonably in the pot and be submerged, but 90% of what I do is small project blanks.
This one works for me. I've used it for filtering gear and purging THC wax I made when I was growing. That reminds me I need to start growing again. -_-
I suggest another lower end pump from robinair
at full vacuum thc and terps will boil off below room temperature

What is missing in terms of accessories in this deal? It's super affordable so seems worth it if I only need to buy hoses or whatever?
