I don't agree with all the posters who say that it isn't worth it. I built myself a set of Record/Super champion with DT spokes for 170 bucks. I know that they are built right because I did it myself. The price was less than the cost of a comparable set on ebay, and I get the satisfaction of knowing that I made them.
At the very least, even if you only ever build one set of wheels you will know that A)you can do it, and B)you can fix one if it breaks.
