I bought the H.F. one several years ago.  It worked really well, *while* it worked.  Last time I got it out, the high voltage section seemed to be dead.  Luckily, it's not too expensive to replace.  It would actually be nice to have multiple guns that I could hook to the power supply, but HF's is hard wired in, so it would require some hacking. 

I highly recommend this place for PC stuff:

They sell the HF gun, alone and in a kit.  All their powders are available in small quantities, and they're very hobbyist friendly.
