to buy a stand or build

So, I've got a 30 gal, 36" long tank w/ a 20 gal sump.

I have 2 options: buying a metal stand or I can build my own.

my 20 gal sump is not a 'long' one so theres only going to be like 7" of clearance if i go w/ the metal stand.

metal stand, i think, would cost me 35$ used.

I'd want to make something really simple. even just getting 2x4s and cinder blocks.

my main considerations are cost and practicality.

suggestions?
 
You can build one out of 2x4's for about 10 bucks, if you want to skin it w/ plywood it will cost about 20 more. Trim and finish pieces are the costly items when building stands...
