You can grow orchids from seed in your kitchen with no special chambers or such. I use the cornstarch method and use wide-mouthed juice bottles (Gatorade, etc) for flasks. Even here in Panama' it's easy and very cheap.
Of course, you can just spread the seed on a limb with a little moss on it here and a couple will usually grow.

Phytotech Labs sells 'kits' but with at little research you can avoid purchasing lots of equipment. Pre-made, "just add water" media is cheap (on a small scale) and available from several sources in the US.

As mentioned above, you can do this at home with no specialized equipment. Technique and procedure are very important, however, so do your research and you'll be fine.
