I went from never soldering circuitry or working with a schematic to designing a PCB (the CMIO schematics are freely available and easy to reverse engineer even for someone with very limited knowledge), having it printed, and build it myself using 0603 and 0805 SMD components.

It's really not that hard or expensive to do it yourself, and it's a fun little side project. Try it out.
