I tend to agree with /u/andersonah, based on relative safety concerns with each.
I'll tell you right now, you need to be very particular about your approach to the rings.
Slowly transition into one set of ring dips with perfect form and stability, and don't add more than 1 set per week. It is ok to go slower.
I am recommending that you consider weighted dips with option 4 or 5 first, though.

Total: $204.95, plus any tax and shipping.
Note that the parallel bar station does not store as easily as you might like. It's very useful, though; you can use it for dips, bodyweight rows, L-sit training, etc. The paralette bars linked by batman1285 are probably a good substitute, though they won't give you as much clearance from the ground.
Basically everything but squat jumps.
Buy some dip bars if you really get into it.
These are awesome, just follow the r/bodyweightfitness progression. If you jump into some exercises too quick and/or with bad form you can injure yourself.
I did leg-assisted for the fat handles. Still worked pretty nicely.
For the rotating fat handles, I made them to spec but ended up just taking the PVC and putting it on my door-frame chin-up bar. Same effect, I figured.
Did something a bit different for the towel hangs. I draped a judo belt over a [dip stand] (http://www.amazon.ca/Black-Mountain-Products-Stand-Dip/dp/B00EPKRUGS), grabbed an end in each hand, and held myself up like that. We do something similar in Judo practice and it was very difficult, heh. It was kind of like doing rows with the belt, except stopping at the top of the motion. Let me know if you think I'll get the same effect from that.
I got this Dip Station because I dont have any parallel bars or chairs heavy enough to dip on. So far it amazing and I can also do my Hrows on it!

Iron Gym (doorway pullup bar) pull up bar is pretty much the only major requirement. You can probably start the recommended routine after that.
I also purchased this dib bar to make doing dips easier, but it's not necessary
The half rack at least gives you the option to lift weights later. I went with a full rack (Titan T-2) because I wanted to lift weights and I could get a multigrip pull-up bar instead of just a straight bar. I prefer the separate dip station. This style works for inverted rows also.
It's this one, http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Stand-3000-Pound-Dip/dp/B00EPKRUGS/
It's pretty good. Doesn't move around or shake when you use it. Also works for like body weight rows. Still it's kind of expensive for single function equipment.
For less than $100 you can get one of these, a small price to pay for peace of mind. I've been doing inverted rows on a 2x4 between two chair, it works but the wood tends to slip.
You dont have a park?
Or
Portable Dip station
But this? Or maybe hang rings off the bar you do pullups on?
Not worth it when This is 40 bucks and the one I linked earlier doesn't take up much more space than a PVC setup.
Ohhh its a dip bar. the other one is a pull up bar. you said bottom of it so i was looking towards the floor lol.
