The good news is that blast cabinets are pretty simple. I've had a cheap HF one and now a really nice Trinco. They both took air from my compressor, sucked up media, and blasted it at the object. There are really no moving parts, although the Trinco has a dust collector. Both units tend to cloud up the viewing window with a few hours' use, which is really the only real pain. Just get replaceable films to put over the inside of the window.
If you're into modding and your parts aren't large, my very first blast cabinet was a big Rubbermaid tub, a $20 HF gun, $10 HF blasting gloves, and a piece of glass glued to a window cut out of the cover. I even plumbed in my shop vac hose for a dust collector!

I'm pretty sure there was a thread around here dedicated to HF cabinet mods. You might try and search for that.
Then again maybe not. But here's a link to multiple threads

Go to TPtools.com and order their import cabinet gun upgrade setup and some of their lense protectors. I did that for mine and don’t have any complaints about the cabinet now. I’m also fixing to get the HF dust collector for it as it seems to get good reviews and I won’t have to listen to my shop vac anymore while I’m blasting something.
