I'm a dork, so when I was in college, I shelled out the big bucks ($200) for a really, really nice National brand rice cooker. It's great. I love it. I never burn rice, I never have to tend to it while it's cooking, and it keeps the rice warm, fresh, and edible for about 24 hours. If I'm going to keep it that long, I usually add some extra water.
Mine has a bunch of different modes to cook different typs of rice--brown, sushi, fluffy, porridge, etc. It does a fantastic job.
It's really nice to walk into the house and smell cooked Nishiki rice. Yum.
I would ask anyone who is eating converted rice to at least try making some good rice, even if you don't eat it enough to buy a rice cooker. The difference in quality is striking.
You can also buy rice seasoning at Asian markets for rice balls. yum. Great for a warm quick snack on a cold day...
