Wow that's quite a difference in price. You could even add the label frame hardware and still have saved loads of money.
However if you are lucky you can even save more by searching Craigslist in your area and purchasing a number of oak file cabinets that seem to the latest item of choice to sell there. At least in our area. I got a pair for fifteen dollars. I sanded and restained them darker to work in our library for a desk for our my hubby. We used a left over beveled glass piece that once protected our coffee table for the desk top. I've yet to make sliding boxes for inside the deep drawers to make it more user friendly, but it works for now.
One could easily attach the drawer fronts together to make them into a door and add a bottom inside the cabinet for storing the tower. My hubby has a lap top so that wasn't necessary.
