i agree with rtb. With any of the above options youll look at your system in a few months time and say gee, i wish i could have gotten those AI's/MP40's/apex jr etc. chances are youll end up upgrading down the line. then you will have purchased both the now redundant makeshift unit and your dream unit.
youll end up saving money if you collect a few more paychecks over a few extra weeks/months and purchase your dream gear from the start .
