That being said I probably still have probably $1000 in my brewing equipment. The quick disconnect fittings are the best investment I ever made but they weren't cheap.
Brew in a bag is actually fairly easy and takes about half the equipment but the efficiency is much lower. I still consider doing that ever now and then since its so simple.

I used a 5 gallon stock pot for my brew pot, had a copper immersion wort chiller, used a couple of plastic trash cans for the mashtun, and a had bucket primary fermentor and a glass carboy secondary.
That limited me to 5 gallon batches which took like 12 hours to brew. Kitchen looked like Vietnam when I was done.
