That's the one I bought (151TE) from machine mart. I'm slowly teaching myself to weld. Google Mig welding forums, read as much as you can, watch as many of the youtube tutorials as you can. The only thing I've made so far is a full stainless exhaust for my 110 but I plan on doing more. Look out for a machine mart VAT free voucher and buy yourself a few spare tips at the same time. Also the mask that comes with it is pretty basic. I bought an auto dimming full face mask and it makes a huge difference! Having 2 hands on the torch and not having to take your eyes off the weld is essential when starting.

I need to find a decent supplier of the bends or get a pipe bender!
I got a gas/no gas mig from Aldi years ago, because I had to weld some aluminium. It suprised me how well it worked after it was set up properly. I've never used it for steel as I'm happy using mma the rest of the time for everything else, also with mma you tend not to need to clean the surfaces up as much as it will juat blast through it.
It's a lot cheaper to buy straight sections and pie cut to create angles
