Ya that guy on here built one a lot like that and he didn't have to sell his body to get it. Pretty sure he did a write up on it.

I think it is on page 76 of that thread but not sure. You will need a welder just so you know.

About $60 in material and the time. I left the bottom of the legs open so I could make adjustable legs for it so it could move up and down. I wanted it centered but now my cooler doesn't fit under it. At least I noticed it before I capped the ends. I needed to make it 4 more inches higher and wouldn't have had this problem. I used some plans I got off of the homebrew thread on here. Here's a pic they posted. He used 3/4 inch and I went with 1 inch square tubing. I know it's over kill but I had it laying around so I used it.

Here's mine I just completed. The area by the cubby was left open with a little added area for a sub enclosure to come later.

Check out the link below. Very good build quality and cheaper than the Olympic if you aren't gonna build your own. Plus, you'll be supporting a fellow CF member
