These enclosures (including all electronics but SFP) are around $350.
SFP is another $110 for 10km bidi optics w/ DOM.

The cable cost to reach the home with connectors can run around $1-2/meter, excluding pole attach or burying costs.

The cable cost quickly comes to rival the cost of the enclosure.
