You'll never regret going the diy route. The savings and satisfaction from it enables an exponential boost in high quality audio for modest budgets. A circular saw is ok, I'd get a decent blade with high carbide tooth count. Look into some diy jig's for more accurate rip and crosscut cutting. A tip if you don't know for cutting large sheets of mdf or ply, buy a sacrificial 4 x8 sheet of foam insulation to go under the building material and cut laying flat on the floor. You'd do well to invest in a router. You can get one, even a plunge router for a reasonable outlay. They help a lot getting a better fit and finish to your project. For inspiration, dig around here for some examples of project builds. There's some fabulous examples of the model you chose. Be prepared for being impressed.
