What's up elcheapo ?, you must know I don't have a job at the moment. LOL I just answered in his other thread, yes I love my drip, just change nutrients and PH. Do what elcheapo says and make a few bubbler (DWC) buckets to start with. A couple air stones to fit in the bucket and a dual air pump from wally world or fish pet store and your off and going. You can build most things cheapper than buying. Yeild will be as big as the lights you have on them. Check out some of latewood's madman post on making systems. It looks hard on the outside but it's not when you get things toghether. Most expence is PH meter, EC, or TDS meter and lights. Nutrients but they last awhile, just don't go over board on add on nutrients. Once you go hydro you won't go back.
