Then I suppose you're finding the same situation as many of us, that
there's little point to pay extra for limited, poor quality support
and be limited in component selection when you can just roll-your-own.
Half of the work is doing the research on the specific products before
you buy.


Quite. I'd be more than happy to "roll my own", but for one problem -
if there were to be any problems, I'd not have available a ready
supply of components to swap out for fault-finding. And buying in
extras would rapidly use up any money saved in the first place by
home-building. Even a crummy commercial outfit has that advantage
over the one-off would-be system builder.

Which is why I've taken to selecting all the components from one
supplier, then asking them to assemble it ...

Cheers,
Wol
