Give Sketchup a shot: http://www.sketchup.com/
I worked with a traditional 2d artist who had never used a 3d program before Sketchup. Seems it was easy enough to learn that she was able to model her apartment in a few days.
It's probably about as easy as you'll get, but I'm not sure if they have good tools for modeling smooth molding like on the megatech cab. See what you can do though! I'm sure there's an extrude tool in there somewhere, and beveling or filleting the edges might be an option as well.
