This is the cabinet I have:http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=42202

It was onsale for $99 when I bought it. I have found a few other people online who bought the same cabinet also. My compressor with keep a steady 90psi (constant running) when I am using it. It just a 2hp Craftsmen horiontal tank model. This is a good small cabinet to start with. What alot of the guys did was then replace the gun and pickup with a better one. But the cabinet itself is a nice benchtop design. It works great on 80 grit glass bead.

As stated before, moisture is the enemy, so you need a good water trap. Also Soda is not suitable for a cabinet since soda is a "one-time-use" media. The soda shaters on impact, and cannot be recycled as with other media.
