If you ignore the talk about the pricey IOs, here's a very straightforward post with good advice about building a BS/SD. You could do the basic plan he lays out using just SOs; with dirt-cheap frankenslotting, this will be a formidable character, and every set bonus you can afford will just make him better.

Thx sailboat, the poorer the better 
If you've got funds on a different server, now is the perfect time to move them around!
Roll a new toon, and hand it a few million. Then move it to the server you want the money on via the free server transfers and hand the money over.
This is easiest to do if you have multiple accounts, but you can also get a friend to make the mule for you. If you don't have any friends, I'9 not sure what to suggest. :P

Here's a poor man's BS/SD build that worked well for me. Softcapped defenses to all positions, hasten, and the body mastery pool to help with the endurance. Most expensive set will be the ToD set and a piece or two of the Gaussian's, otherwise they are all on the cheap. Recharge time will be the one thing this build lacks, but that takes money to fix and you asked for cheap.

Hello all,
I've been looking around the boards for this combo and theres a lot of different ways to go, im looking for a poor mans build, as I just moved to a new server and am limited on cash for awhile. I am on a Mac, and cant use Mids unfortunately, because I see there are some good builds out there, I just cant look at them. Im looking for anything with soft capped Def+ recharge (hasten needed or not?) Also thinking about grant cover... Not sure if I need it, even though I do team a lot. I want somthing that can do at least 2+ lvl's, so im assuming acc is important.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
Cheers
