I built a CNC plasma years ago but if I have a big project, I almost always go into the city and have my parts CNC laser or water jet cut.
The places I use cost me out of pocket less that what I can just get the material for but I don't purchase much steel my the truck load.
For smaller projects where I am not using whole sheets but building from "drops" I use this little pantograph that works with plasma or Oxy/Act.
You've got to make a templet but lots of times thats faster than drawing it up.
With Oxy/Act it has a lot more capability than plasma, even using a hand torch.
