I have done this with one 286, one 386, and two 486 systems that I have
owned. I'll probably do it again for a Pentium this fall. Of course it
helps that I am relatively near to a huge computer swapmeet.

At home and only if you don't consider your time. At work it is probably 
better to buy a complete system.

Building your own PC is really an educational experience or a hobby. I 
wouldn't recommend it outside of this context.
