i did that w/ an older bike back in 02, it was a lotta fun. the only thing i had to ahve done at the shop was the headset and bottom bracket installs. (i didnt want to spend $$$ on a headset press).
you can probably find cheap buildkits and parts online (for example, pricepoint.com has good deals on older model hydraulic disc brakes). you could also pick up a frame used or cheap off of craigslist, or even new on close out (the only downside is that you dont get to test ride it first). however, if you know the geometry that suits you, you should be fine.
couple things to watch out for is the seat tube size (so you can get the right size, configuration front derailleru), bottom bracket width, and seatpost diameter (you dont want to get the wrong size parts)
