I checked prices on all needed components, and added.  It's really not that
difficult.  And it can be done for around $1500.  I'm not going to argue this
further with you - believe what you will.  I have more important things to worry
about right now, which I will also not discuss here, for this is not the place.

Then it's even less cost to build the system!
