Ha! Yea when I saw some of the other DIYs from the original GrowFAQ and GreenKind, I decided not to re-invent the wheel. I did actually build it (for like $20) but I have not had the opportunity to try it out yet. Next year's grow will likely be a DWC hydro grow.

why buy when one can build, given you have hole saws or a dremel, and time

Why do you need a hole saw or dremel? The net cup holes are cut out with an exacto razor knife or any sharp instrument. Its much easier than I originally expected, after all its just a tub of water with an air pump attached. I feel like a fool even asking the question after I built mine and realized how rediculously simple it is.
