i wouldn't buy any 'mycosystem'
just make your own.. it's a hell of a lot cheaper..
you can probably do everything that does with under $40.. including spore syringe, fruiting chamber, jars, vermiculite, brown rice flour, and perlite.. might i recommend darkspores.. i believe they have the cheapest syringes that i've found.. especially the sale ones.. plus they are based outta texas, so you know it's good. 
pressure cooker is a little extra but you can usually find good deals.. you dont really need it 100% if you're doing pf tek (brown rice and verm) jars..

Is using a microwave for sterilization instead of PC's a bad idea? I know you wouldn't want to have the foil/lids in place for this, but I would think it would be faster and more economical than using a PC. Just a thought ...

i wouldn't do it..
if you have a pc, use it.. otherwise use a big pot..
really it's pennies of difference in electricity costs.. but could be lots more difference in cost if you have to throw your jars away, ya dig?
you can bake stuff in the oven too... but i'd rather put 'em in a jar and throw em in the ol pc.. just got one yesterday it's pretty cool.. gotta admit.

Yeah, I definitely gotta get my ass in gear and start my cultivation projects soon. I already have spores on their way, I just need to find a good source of vermiculite. Home Depot does not carry it, as far as I know.

found some at lowe's.. right next to the perlite 
walmart doesn't have it here, but they have perlite and jiffy mix and mgmc and all that.. which are used for casing.
i tried to find coco coir.. called petco and petsmart and neither of them have it.. supposedly it's sold as 'reptile bedding' in a brick..
retro.. dry them with a fan in the dark

Wrap them up in paper towels and let them sit on a shelf for a couple weeks.
