That thing that still isn't done...it's up to around $250ish in glassing supplies...and untold amounts of labor.

As Chris (mandos) stated, its not the cost of the materials, its the labor that drives up the cost overall.

Laying the different layers of 'glass, cutting the matt, smoothing everything out, then sanding/bondo/sanding/primer/sanding/painting the enclosure.
