you can get better for less. swap the gun and barrel for a spyder imagine and custom products one piece.

I too back up the imagine, great spyder e-marker.

Also if your willing to spend a little more buck, get the v-force profiler, awesome mask, anti-fog (and this is the real anti-fog) and really comfortable.

empire reloader is cheaper than the halo tsa & will do just as well.

Dont be Hating on this post but I think with that money you should get a Spyder Imagine ( 2004) and A VL 12v Rev. A Nite Stick Barrel if you want a upgrade which i advise. 14 oz if you want to be a front or 20 oz up to you. Always Chromolly. Chronic Paint by Zap cause it goes well with the Nite Stick and a New bolt to go with that. To me thats no better start off for a beginner. I hope you all back me up on this one. I find you'll be having fun with all of that equipment and a nice 4+1 pack from 32 degrees or 3 pack from dye on www.actionvillage.com

nerdcore is right. the halo tsa is kinda a waste of money since it only does 14bps. And since you said u want the lcd it will be the same price as a Evo II. i suggest getting that since it does 17bps. i personally dont like my reloader and i put it on my bros compact 2n1 with his e-trigger and it just was chopping. though i think that has to do with the side feed instead of vertical feed. but any way go with the. Evo 2 as a hopper, and if you every upgrade to another elctronic gun in the future and you start pulling faster then 17bps, then you can buy the z board.

just my 2 cents

Get rid of the gun, barrel, and tank.

Get a cheep used 03 cocker. It will last as long as a tippy, and when you get better it can compete better, than a spyder would.

Get the tank anti-syphoned.

This may cost more but its worth it. Get any hopper, any mask and you're ready to go.

The imagine you should look into , its a great gun trust me. Plus the check it products one peice is a good idea aswell i have a 14 inch and it works like a charm. If not the imagine go for a tippman, great gun, awesome price:)

A spyder or Piranha roughly around $150, an Emipre Reloader, 20oz Co2 and a used JT flex mask.

i agree go for the imagine. there was just a new board that came out for them that has unlimited rate of fire and it comes with breakbeam eyes. i have a spyder for a backup gun and it has a boblong torpedo reg, dye boomstick, the board with eyes, eggy, superfly bolt, and a evil valve kit and to me it rips. The place with the board and eyes is shop4paintball.com and you can watch a vid of a spyder with the board and eyes at xsfadvantage.com

I recommend a Used Mag (with ups) or a spyder imagine with a CP 1 piece.

I would recommend a Spyder Victor.
It's cool looking (not that the imagine isn't) But it's also really inexpensive all you would need is a awesome barrel and excellent paintballs and you are good 2 go!

Could you possibly mean "Custom Products", not "Check-It Products"? I do realize CiP has a barrel, but I don't think it's a one peice. I think you have CP and CiP confused...
