I built my RCM out of an old Pioneer PL-A25 table, some tubing, and a shop vac. It's the best "upgrade" I've done to my analog setup, period. Make sure you get a bottle of the MFSL Plus fluid, too.
IMHO, some sort of wet cleaning process (preferably with a vacuum) and an accurate cartridge / table setup process may have the largest impact on the performance of your analog front end. Sure it's not as sexy as telling your friends you just bought mega-buck cartridge, but it's oh-so worth it.
