The Other thing to add is this, If purchasing your compressor from Home Depot, or Sears, BE SURE TO CHECK THE WARRANTY.
I bought a pancake compressor from Home Depot a year and a half ago. Lifetime Warranty, it said. On Everything. Well guess what. When I took it to Portland compressor, the authorized repair facility, 6 months after I bought it, they told me the warranty would not apply as I was a commercial consumer and that parts and labor warranties only applied to home/ individual consumers. How's that for a kettle of fish?.

Oh and plumb it yourself it's relatively simple to do, all the parts are off the self. There are a ton of DIY books availible, and some even reccomend using PVC, I wouldn't in a facility where it's likely to get smashed by anything, and steel pipe is simple to work with.

And remember to drain your tank, at least once a week, Specially here where it rains all the time. You'd be amazed at the amount of water that builds up in your tank very quickly.
