I also enjoy working with hardware, and would normally tend to buy 
individual parts _a la carte_ and assemble them myself. But it's a personal 
choice for everyone, and one that has a lot to do with things like how 
valuable your time is, how much you enjoy hardware, and how good your 
hardware skills are. (The sort of system-building that some of us can do, 
enjoyably, in a couple of hours of spare time are the same sorts of things 
that other people might see as a three-day ordeal with lots of hair-pulling.)

So, to each their own -- and I didn't know where on the spectrum the 
querent falls.
