AND

Maybe it won't be cheaper/ maybe it will.  If someone wants to take the time and develop their own kit, it will likely cost less- the kit we've assemble was a good amount less, and that includes making the bracket AND making a front coil mount (from steel, not a zip tie).  The bottom line is, assembling a kit from a used/ small seller/ ebay PC and the filters/stacks and using a reasonably stocked home garage is likely to get this assembled for at least some savings, but it comes down to what your time is worth.  If you are into DIY at all then you have already made the concession that your time (or some of it) is worth a cost savings...

@waspworks....

I don't think it's very cool to come on here and bash our project and then promote your own.

I have said numerous times that you guys have an AWESOME setup. And I would of purchased one in a second had you sold them. The quality is far superior to anything out there... But, you know that in June of 2010, when you said "a couple of weeks" that did not happen.

we aren't professionals at this. We are two guys with zero knowledge in designing and fabrication. We have normal day jobs, and were working from our home computer and in our garage in our spare time, fronting well over a thousand dollars of our money to go through with it.

Sure our bracket ain't perfect. We don't have the access to te resources to perfect it. We did the best we could with what we had, and it worked. If we were to make more there are several things we would change and improve.

We aren't making money and aren't competing with you for sales. We lost money in this endeavor. But, when something is promised and does not materialize, don't be mad or surprised if someone else fills the void.
