ok so i'm thinking about jumping to ebrewing b/c i want to brew in my basement(as does my wife!) i'm fairly handy with most stuff, pretty good DIYer but when it comes to electrical not so much, just not as confident...i have read TONS of articles, forums and sites to get the basics down. i'm not looking to spend a lot of $ to start and i'm looking to go fairly basic at first. I have read http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/ and man that is WAY more than I am looking to do but it gave me the information i needed....
SO here is my question, can I get away with this for the basic setup, been looking at highgravitybrew.com
Controller:

5500 watt heating element for HLT:

4500 watt element for BK:

weldless fitting kti for each element:

Or maybe even just 1 element to start, not sure...
Not sure what people think. Like I said I'm pretty handy but when it comes to electrical I'm not the best! I know there is a lot of talk about needing PIDs but personally if going without them is a cost savings I'm ok with it for now.
Thoughts? Thanks!
