Building your own can be really rewarding and cost effective. But be careful when choosing hardware as some manufacturers are not compatible with others.
First off, go to some popular manufactures sites...like some listed above by other members. Try and get an idea of what you want and draw up a wish list.
Then I suggest you go to a couple of local computer shops (help out the little guy) and try and get a good price. Shop around, quoting cheaper prices from other stores will most certainly result in a drop in price. Also they may not have the product you want in one store, so it pays to make sure you've checked everywhere before getting a substitute.
These local guys will defiantly give you advice and tips on how to set up your system, but don't forget to utilize the internet for tutorials if your not sure what your doing.
Hope I've helped...good luck
