You know that's something I've been wanting to kinda get into? You've been ordering shit online or getting it local? Stuff to brew that is.

Corpse gets his stuff from two different places:
Austin Homebrew, which is where I buy all my stuff (since they're locally owned and totally bad ass). Corpse bought all of his initial equipment at Austin Homebrew. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/
and I'm not 100% sure, but I also believe this place: http://www.homebrewhq.com/Default.aspx
If that's not it, then there's another place near Dallas.
If you're seriously looking into doing it, you're gonna need about $300-500 for an initial investment. You should do some research on youtube.
The guys at Austin homebrew have a handful of videos on youtube. There are more, but I dug through and found some good ones and put them in sequence:
Intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tlS1Hvi ... re=related
Hops and Grains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxe5uUXs ... re=related
Equipment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32rjWqW1 ... re=related
Steeping Grain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaRujEd7 ... re=related
Extract: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXSgniNY ... re=related
Bittering Hops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg-OFBjF ... re=related
Flavoring/Armoa Hops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLFJLKnl ... re=related
Chilling Wort: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLndyDc8 ... re=related

I bought my initial equipment from JB, the dude in those youtube videos.
That link for the place in Dallas is accurate.
Austin Homebrew is the best I've seen in my vast experience of two whole brew shops. I see a lot of references to them in other online resources though, and they have an excellent reputation.
The cool thing about Homebrew Headquarters in Dallas (Richardson) is - once you pick out a recipe, you go get the grains and mill them yourself. You can change the volume of each grain at your discretion, add or remove grains, and mill it to your own preference. In my case, I asked them to simply do it for me while I leaned over their shoulders and edited on the fly.
Overall, I recommend http://www.austinhomebrew.com for all your brewing needs. All my equipment and the ingredients for my first two batches of beer came from there and I have no complaints. They also have toll-free tech support (weird, I know).
