Thing linked by dr_frost_dk is indeed good choice. Personally, though, I prefer gas-powered soldering irons - no cable anywhere, temperature control via flame size, + You can sue bare flame to hard solder bigger things (pipes for water cooling ) With correct part inserted, it can be also used as simple hot-air for really delicate things - kinda "all-in-one solution. And it isn't expensive.



I use thing similar to 2 examples from top-right corner, but as You can see, there are many types, from small and sneaky, to big ones with custom standing.

Of course, there are also huge things, mounted on gas containers, like that:

...but I wouldn't solder N900 with it
