Default DIY protein skimmer

Ok so I need some ideas for a nice DIY protein skimmer. it preferably would be stand alone, and be designed for a 300g, even though the tanks only 125g. it needs to be good but inexpensive. the questions i wanna know are:
-what supplies do i need
-how should the design be
-what would be the overall cost(inexpensive please!)
the whole reason for DIY is to evade the cost! please, some ideas!
thanx

hey did you ever end up building this skimmer? About how much did it cost? was it a pain to do or pretty easy?
