Very happy with my own router with my own software (just regular Arch Linux ARM). :) The thing that guards access to and from my internal networks really deserves to not be so turdish. I'd hate to pay $350 for such a betrayal.
Some things can apparently only be bought with your own time, when it comes to "but you had to spend cumulative 3 days setting up your custom thing, so it didn't really cost $100" equation that people will throw at you if you tell them that you have built something yourself from relatively cheap components.
