Have a look at cnczone.com, there are numerous of home made machines in large size. You need the big the garage, that's for sure. To cut building costs you can choose to not use ballscrews, linear guides exist in different rigid types and there are also a bunch of proven home made designs. But my most important suggestion is: design before you build! You'll cut the number of mistakes when you model it.
