Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone. 
I'll get more photos up soon. Hopefully not ones with my yucky phone camera.
Not a problem. I'm not sure on exact numbers because I didn't keep the receipts once everything was built. But, I can give rough numbers. Let me think...
$200 in 1/4" plexiglas
$10 in paint
$10 in velcro
less than $50 in hardware
$15 on bedding
$40 on decorations
So total I spent about $325 on seven cages. That's a little over $45 per cage.
I had a lot of extras laying around the shop so I didn't need to buy any wood/staples/glue and only the final coat of paint.
The value of wood I salvaged rounded out to about $500 in savings alone. So, I think I made out pretty good.
There's a 1/16" gap from the inset hinges on the sides as well as a tiny crack at the centers to allow the hinged doors to clear the center post. There's plenty of air flow between the two.

Um, what did you do for ventilation? Don't see any holes
