Nothing.  My comment was because you were making conflicting statements.  If
the goal is to build one yourself regardless of cost, for experience,
education, or fun, by all means go right ahead.  If however the goal is to
maximize productivity (something you also said), then go buy the $300 ready
made solution guaranteed to work off the shelf where someone else has
already paid for the expensive and time consuming development.  There is no
way you're going to build one yourself for $300 unless you value your time
less than $3/hour or so, not to mention the opportunity cost of not having
one until you finish cobbling it together and making it actually work.
