I've never built my own machine, although, I've built several for other people. What about BRAND machines? I know that they pack your machine with a lot of unuseful stuff, but you can easly re-format their HD's and load your prefered OS and make your own configuration. Where I live, Its not that easy to get good, quality parts to build a robust system and if you do, you can easly spend a lot more that the best VAIO money can buy.
