Prusa i3 box version seems fairly simple to me. The costs are in the electronics and hotend.

We sell fairly inexpensive printers on our website (see signature). We have two i3 variants, a regular size and a 9X12, and we also provide plenty of tech support, because we know it can be quite a steep learning curve with these things. winking smiley

Hope that helps.

A friend of mine just bought one of these. He hasn't finished it yet, but be warned, the threaded rod used in the construction makes it very difficult to assembly accurately (at least for a noob like him).
