I, too, built my own system a year ago. It was sometimes frustrating, but it was an excellent learning experience, and also rewarding when it was done. I highly recommend you do it at least once in your life. But if you don't need the learning experience, or are constrained by a busy schedule, then let someone else build you a customer system.
