Where do I buy these lights for less?

I saw a cool set-up at my LFS today...JBJ Formosa Deluxe...basically 2x65W PCs in a hood with fans. They are on separate power plugs (the actinics are on the same plug as the fan), so you can set the timer for dawn dusk.
Problem: LFS wants $350.00 + tax...
Question: Where can I get this thing on-line for less money? Also, anybody have one of these hoods with the fans in it?
TIA :)

Go to ahsupply.com and you can get that setup for cheap and still have enough cash to put A/C in your house :D

I don't want to build it myself. I really like the way the JBJ looks...and there is no way I could make one the same way, but thanks for the site.
Does anyone else have advice on where to buy JBJ lighting?

DONT BUY JBJ!!!!!!!!! mine melted down...they sold me a hood with 2 55wt bulbs..it overheated and melted the lens right off the thing, i sent the lights back to jbj. GET THIS THEY CHARGED ME 78$ TO FIX IT.. geez i payed 200 for the lights to begin with, try another brand if you want my opinion btw if your wondering what went wrong with the lights--JBJ said that both ballasts went bad, and there was a wiring problem, nice to know before it burned my house down
