Building your own is good experience, and worth it in the end, but don't underestimate the length of time it will take to get all the parts together and overcome the various problems you will face. Don't forget to budget for tools - you need a fair few specialist bits and pieces to build something up from scratch. It's not the quickest or cheapest way to get something running, but having it unique at the end is nice.
