I have never seen a $100 TIG welder but I am sure ebay would be the one to have them. I would highly suggest going with a quality brand no matter what type you decide to get. Much easier to find replacement parts if you should need them and higher quality to begin with.
Can you even get a TIG welder that will run off your standard 110v outlet? I know you can get MIG like that and they work great for light duty stuff.
If you do get a MIG welder make sure to get one with gas, the flux core welders dont weld as pretty and a harder to get used to.
If you can afford a nice TIG setup I would get it. They are much easier to use on different types of materials and leave the cleanest work. They are however a little more difficult to learn how to produce good welds, IMO.
