About $600 plus tax I think. $550 for the basic controller package (8 controllable outlets on the power bar), $30 for a pH probe and +/- $20 for an Ethernet cable to plug into your homes internet router.

Other than that I dont really have anything new to add to the discussion aside from I also have an ACIII which is presently controllable over the internet. I get a text message and an email message (so does my tank sitter) if anything is wrong while I'm away from home. Its not quite as good as being there to deal with a problem yourself but its the next best thing.
