   A 5 gallon bucket and some nipples for under $10 you will be golden... Vertical nipples are dirt cheap but they have a tendency to leak, horizontals are a little more but leak less... I wouldn't bother with the cups...
   
   If you want more water use a 30 gallon or 55 gallon food grade plastic barrel instead of the bucket...
