I know there are complete kits with everything contained but most of them seem to be quite an expensive way of doing things & not really building your own machine, then again that may have all changed as I haven't looked at it for quite some time.
From what I read a few months ago, you do still have to experiment a bit for your own exact set-up to get the best results, but it's not quite as big an unknown as what it used to be. The basic machine is easy enough to build, especially if you go for one of the kits, and there are also a few kit options for the electronic side.
Although they do work out to be a reasonable amount of money once you factor everything in to build one.
