I've seen all the STC-1000 jibber jabber on homebrewtalk and it's extremely functional for the price. I went with a capillary thermostat. Only $7. I'm trying to get a 100% parts list for under $80 and the extra functionality of the STC-1000 isn't really necessary for the most basic RIMS.
The thermostat came in with a 12F deadband but I was able to quickly tweak the contact spacing to bring it down to about 4F-5F. With some more fine tuning I can probably get it down to 2-3F, which should be perfectly fine for a RIMS.
