Help me with my christmas gifts!

[samjc3]

long story short, my parents dont know much about what im looking for in a soldering station and stuff, so they just gave me (roughly) 400$ to buy a soldering station and other modding supplies. i have screens and stuff, so, mostly im looking for tools. i need a new soldering iron, and would like to get a good combo system (the kind with an iron, hot air gun, desoldering iron, and big control box), but i really don't know much. any recommendations? any other tools you can recommend would also be greatly appreciated.

also, i will be posting a WTB thread later on this week, which should have tons of stuff you guys can help me with.

The one I have used for two years. Tips never go bad and it works perfect. Can't be beat.

wow! thats a serious station! sadly, im not looking to spend quite that much, as i am also looking to get some other stuff. i wold prefer to spend like 250$ maximum. i have looked through roughly 40 pages on ebay, at this point, and to no success.
