i view it more as not explicitly as the dollar value of my time, but 
that I have X hours/month to spend on ham radio projects, and a 
project that takes substantially more than X hours to complete, so I 
want to allocate the X hours efficiently.  I could spend an hour 
assembling cables or an hour writing control software... both tasks 
have to get done. If I want to spend money to "buy time", at least 
the cables are available. The same is not true of the software writing.

It's no different than buying a tower vs welding it up yourself, just 
on a different scale.
