Yea ,the roof units are pricey, and it's going to get worse. The one's you can get now have r-22 gas and this year it's fazed out. Heck one company isn't going to make 'em any more. Now new in box around 650-800 bucks, this summer up to $1000. So start looking at the window shakers folks.

Got the air conditioner the old fashion way, right out of the catalog and yes it was a pretty penny. Total was about $650.

The cabinets came from Sam's Club. They are not very heavy but they are very nice and rugged.

The manufacturer is Seville Classics: http://www.sevilleclassics.com/

The under counter cabinets state they can hold 300lbs of stuff so I can basically stand inside one hehhe

I cut it just a bit on the fat side and it more or less held itself in, where I wasnt so accurate I just used some double sided tape on it till I got the Tile Board up on the ceiling.
