T&T: Icemaker recommendation

[Keith]

Consider one of these portable 110V ice makers,  like: 
http://www.windchaserproducts.com/website/specialty/sp_ICM15.htm
These are widely available now, at most appliance stores. Plug it in, pour 
in water, and it makes ice. Won't store though, so you need to put it in a 
freezer, ice chest, etc. Move it around or store it as needed. At around 
$250, it won't kill your liquor budget either!

If you really want the permanent one, I'd stick with a Raritan. I've seen a 
lot of U-Lines go TU.
