It's VERY expensive by most accounts... I've run into maybe two people that 
own a system of any size. The general feedback is that it is good stuff and 
it works, but it's pricey.

If you're thinking about having fun with the I-Cube system, then you might 
wanna look at a cheaper (but less flexible) solution. Take something like 
one of the MIDI Solutions black boxes:

like the Pedal Controller for $119 list (figure about $75 street price)
and then wire a pot to it, or a resistive strip, or a galvanic skin response
pad, or whatever?
