He wound up with this setup - he won't even tell me how much he payed for it.
He has 3 bays he normally works so, he keeps the green cart full most of the time.

That large box alone without the side cabinet looks like about a $7K unit and I'm probably thinking in 20-year-ago prices.
My current setup.. the blue box w/stainless worktop is the nice one, it's new enough it has the lock-and-roll drawers. I found them a little irritating at first but it quickly became natural to operate them. That was the $5.5K ($500 for the optional worktop) box in 2003 pricing that I got for $1K off CL.
The red roll box is a little beat up but it still works great and was super cheap, IIRC I paid $500 for it, craigslist deal. The matching top box was picked up by my little brother as a trade-in off the truck for $300; I actually had it first and lucked out on the matching roll box later.
You can kinda see the cart to the left, cut off in the pic. It's small but it was cheap (less than $150 IIRC) and nearby so I grabbed it just to have it. It currently just gets crap stacked on it but the shelf in the bottom holds my oil jug and filter stock.

And y'all have seen my glorious work table, which is an old steel/formica office table from more than half a century ago. When I used to work for the gas company in Atlanta, they were doing some remodeling work on their 1940's building and threw out a LOT of furniture/fixtures. I wish I'd hung onto the steel desk I also grabbed, but it was a monster to keep moving around. Better view of the little cart behind it, plus an ancient steel utility cart that holds most of my chemical supply and a few misc other things that could do better on a shelving unit, should be my next project. I need to create some more storage space in here.

Speaking of shelving, always being a fan of re-purposing stuff and finding deals on old junk.. these wooden shelves are what's left of a whole bunch more that I bought from an engine rebuilder's shop that was closing down. (Another "wish I'd kept the ridiculously long steel workbenches" but gave them to my little brother's shop type deal.) They're really durable and used to hold rebuilt cylinder heads. Got 'em for practically nothing, still have 8 of them, holding misc. parts, supplies, tools.
