I'm a cheap bastard, possibly one of the cheapest you can find. I got my 400w off craigslist for $60, another $20 in pots and soil, and another $20 in nutes(cheapest water soluable nutes that contain micros) Cheap ass light timer from harbor freight was like $5, that one broke so I had to get another one. An extension cord, and a space blanket from walmart $12.
Then like $500 in pg&e. Sweet
even being the cheapest asshole on the planet, I still spent over $100, and I can pinch a penny or two.. The quality of the buds, TOTALLY worth every penny I didn't save(by switching to geico)
