Fine, please then post your part list with prices and those that want to can build their own. I'm sure you are very skilled and the exception but yes home built with parts not tested together have a higher failure rate compared to a good name brand commerial ones, where the failure rate is quite low. It has to be. The industry is so competitive that profit margins are quite thin. One industry study indicated that just two technical support issues even not requiring parts wiped out the profit
