What that set u back for 44 strips?
In parts? 550$ add $150-300 if you want proper heat sinks and maybe $50 or $100 to use 1" c channel. I used none it doesnt get hot enough to need them for what I'm doing. Mine was actually about $650.00 ordered but what I ended up using would be only been $550.
So for 44 strips you'd be running probably $1100-1500 and that would make for a pretty amazing 5x5 or probably even a really need 4x8 or 5x8. 5x8 would be stretching it a bit but honestly just set get slightly higher amp drivers and throw on some c channel aluminum "heat sinks".
Also if you're getting 44 strips goto digi key. They have discounts for larger orders sometimes as low as 20 or 40 units :)
I built my setup myself without a kit though. Super straight forward... theres also places like I linked that build them for you :)
Edit: also I'm running the MINIMUM drive current you can run these 44" strips at, I did this so I could avoid buying the heat sinks in my particular case and have the most efficient setup I could
