Yeah if you are spending anything over $80 I would honestly just build my own. But I guess some people don't have access to woodworking tools so that makes sense why so many people buy them pre-fabricated.
I just bought the materials to build a bigger, better flower chamber and it only cost me about $35. Probably 5 more for hardware like hinges and stuff but I already had some perfect ones.
But I also own a miter saw, table saw and jigsaw so that probably makes it a LOT easier to DIY.
I'll be building shortly and WILL document it. I got a rockin 135CFM PC fan so i can finally seal my box off. It's the most powerful one I could find 
My goal in the next year is to upgrade to a lighting/ventilation system like Coda's. I just need to incorporate it into my new build. Must...Plan...Ahead

Yah, honestly, if I would have had the cash to buy a couple of saw horses and some power tools I would have built my own. The cabinet is a great alternative if you want some convenience and cost savings. If you have cash to spend I'd look into getting a sun hut, 200 bucks nets you a 2x4 I believe.
Or, if you really want to save some cash or enjoy DIY stuff, build you own like inverted.

Good luck man, if anything make sure the ceiling of your cab is sturdy. Don't want your gear crashing down on your plants

DIY is great because you can make it any way you want it. i did mine DIY and so far it's working great and cost me way less than it would have to buy a grow tent or what have you, and it's awesome because it fits way more. granted it's only for veg, but i still saved a shitload of cash.

Nice setup AS!!! 
DIY FTW
This is my newest flower box... Gonna go work on it right neow!
I will be putting the top on, the door, hinges, a handle, and jigsaw a square out for my High Power PC fan... 133 CFM from a Computer fan is impressive.
Combined with some of Mag's genetics this is going to be my best grow ever I think. I'm going to take my time vegging and training and then scrogging. I'm going for 5-6 Oz's from a 2x2x4 foot space. Wish me luck Slothie!

I'm building one of these and putting it in the corner of my grow box. That will take care of the smell. and also provide some ventalation.

Basically its a 5 gallon bucket, with a fan ontop. And then on the bottom of the bucket there is soil moist, and ONA (an odor neutralizer) the fan will either push or pull air through the soil moist and clean the air.
