I made my first one from a heavy duty cardboard box that our old tv came in. only upgraded to one made from chipoboard because I needed a larger one.
I use a £10 blast gun from an auto jumble and a bag of media from ebay, some of this was too course so i sieved it using a strainer from the kitchen.

But you have to have an unkept ginger beard and some dirty light blue overalls to have one of these.

You could build one for way less than the 130 quid the frost one is. 35 quid for a gun some wood and bit of perspex and a light.

With the locost option I'd make sure you get a decent face mask. The dust can be very fine, might not be good for you long term health.
Same idea for the "extract" system you really need a hepa filter for the last stage of filtration on the outlet or vent to the outside
world, and a slight negative pressure in the blast chamber to ensure any "leaks" don't push dust into the workshop air. Or use just
do it outside in the "cabinet" with a face mask problem solved.
