I need to buy so I can start etching PCB's for circuits I designed and a wide variety of other parts, pieces and enclosures. I have no issue building my own in the future but the business opportunity is now and I can not afford to dive into such a project. My responsibilities between school and my freshly budding business are too grand.

Anything you can tell me would be great.
A did a ton of research 4 or 5 years ago and am slapping myself for not buying what I found stateside from private builders because the costs I see now bought or built are double sometimes more.

So far the best I have found is a 60x40 cm working area water cooled chinese import guys on youtube seem to love. It's about 1600 bucks shipped and I'm working with a grand tops.
Is there a respected DIY builder selling yet?
Found tons of kits but as I said, I just want to do minimal assembly, learn the software and get to etching PCB's promptly.

Interesting logistic question. DIY (do it yourself) or buy.

If your business chance is now i suggest you buy. That way you can get your ROI as fast as possible.

With DIY you can save money but you will always need some debugging time to correct all the arising problems. Even the right software selection can be demanding. That means you will delay in serving your customers. And if a problem arises you are on your own.

Don´t misunderstand me. I favor DIY. In fact I´m a professional retrofitter but for your particular and current condition, buying appears to me like your best option.

The only possible suggestion specially in reference to chinese machines is to check availability of spare parts and service. That way you can reduce your risk of delaying deliveries due to a machine malfunction. Also make sure that you receive ALL THE MANUALS IN YOUR LANGUAGE. It is worthless to have the manuals if written in a foreign language. That way you will spare your hair.

Best of luck.
