I'm not a big fan of Harbor Freight, but I figure this is one piece of equipment that won't matter if I buy it there.

I'm looking at buying this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93608

Now, I thought its 40# capacity rating referred to blast media storage, but after looking at their bigger one that only stores 15#s of media I'm wondering if thats the max weight of the part it will accept before it crumples into a cheap piece of chinese tin garbage.

This is the bigger one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94274 but it seems at that price I would be better off making my own. I haven't ruled out building one myself, but just tossing ideas around right now.

Any input or other blast cabinets you guys would recommend?

Have had the first one you linked for a few years now. It will hold quite a bit of media as well as some rather heavy items. For the price I can't complain about it much.

Here are some upgrade ideas for it.
