EvilMushroom666's guide to building a flowhood has all the mathematical information you need, as well as details on how to pick the proper filter/motor combination.  You can find it in this link:

I got mine for $30 second hand off a classified site. Brand new you are looking at $200-600+
depending upon many things, however most HVAC places throw out 5-10 a day pulled from old furnaces, might not be a bad idea to look locally for HVAC places and see if they would mind you
taking one.

Simply take it apart, give it a good cleaning, dry well, and put it back together.

Many HVAC shops have a bone yard out back they'll let you comb through for used parts, often free.
