Was there ever a resolution to this problem?  I had a friend facing a
similar problem not long ago and I had no idea what to tell him.  Maybe I
can help him out if there were any resolution here.

How "good" of a system you're looking into?

  Ok !!
  I'm lining everybody up to tell me what to buy and where to buy it and how
to
  build one!!

  The guy trying to talk me into it did say that the hardest thing is (and
most
  expensive) getting the
  software and getting it on and running.

  I find this to be true if you are not looking for anything spectacular
from
  the spec, but it's still a lot cheaper to put together a higher specced
  machine yourself AND you get to choose the components that suit you, not
the
  maker.

  As for the difficulty in doing it yourself? Speaking as someone with
hooves
  for hands, it's one of the easiest 'technical' things you can do. If you
can
  use a screwdriver, you can do it.
