I don't particularly think any of them are really overpriced. I mean, three grand, okay, that's the cost of a decent computer system, which is neither a huge amount nor a small amount. That's the cost of a pound of good bud, depending on your area. If it'd take you, say, 50 hours to build one yourself, at a third the cost, then you'd save two grand, at the cost of 50 hours of work, or 40 bucks an hour. For some people, that's a reasonable tradeoff, and those people are the target audience of these turnkey systems. And, as you pointed out, some people are simply not physically capable of building their own box. If there were no market for these systems, no one would be selling them, so there is obviously a market.

I too have seen people disparaged for mentioning these systems, but I don't really get that. Sure, it's rewarding to build your own. But if you CAN'T build your own, or you're willing to spend the money in order to not have to build your own, there's nothing wrong with that. If the seller and the buyer are both ultimately happy with the deal, well, that's how business is supposed to work.

That said, I haven't seen a ton of people with these systems. I did see the same thread you mentioned, the guy with the Producer box, but haven't seen much else info from anyone with any real experience with these types of boxes. I'd be interested in hearing more about them from people who own them too, even though I don't see myself ever buying one. I might, however, recommend them to friends, if they're good enough (e.g. reliable, durable, low maintenance, low smell, reasonable yields).
jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . TABOO TOPIC IN THE CABINET SECTION? COME ON IN! OK ladies and gentleman, and weed smokers too, I want to get some dialog going on a subject that seems to be very taboo on these boards. The topic I want to hear about are the different things that have been seen and herd about turnkey grow systems such as the BC boxes, caddie/coolcab, power grow boxes, X grow boxes, Suncell boxes, Stealth boxes and so on. Before all of the anti commercial, anti capitalistic, anti greedy money hungry corporate American tempers flare up, let me try to explain Rating: 5
