If you have a few years then that's a few years to save up for an expensive one if that's what you want. I built my own from a wine cooler that I think looks great and has had no issues. The biggest expense and aspect of it not keeping up with room temp fluctuations is having it properly insulated and a good thermostat. I have directions for this one posted. Was well under $200 with half of that being the herpstat.
