cost to get a wheel built

Why don't you call your local bike shop and ask them? It's probably
more than $20 and less than $70. It all depends on the going rate
where you live and the specifics of the wheel you want built.

It's always a good idea to get on first-name-terms and
casual-conversation-terms with the staff at your LBS. I'm so friendly
with mine that they knock 20% off whatever I buy.
A wheel build costs around £10 - £15.
Roughly double that for dollars.

Free minus the cost of spokes. Do it yourself courtesy of 'Sheldon
Brown' (http://sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html).

In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
practice, there is.

Yeah, you should really look in to learning how to build your own
wheels, its a great skill, If you dont wanna do it to your uni rim, I'm
sure you have a old rim from a bike you can practice on.

If you go to your LBS to get it built, ask them questions, and tips on
how to do, they will probably tell you, and really watch what they are
doing, then that will help you when you are learning to build your own
wheel.

hard to do and its a cheaper alternative.

Building wheels is a great skill. In NZ it costs $80 or so to get a
wheel built, so i decidid to learn. That way it only costs $36 for
spokes. It's really not that hard if you follow the instructions in the
link earlier.
And unless you've been in the Bike scene for a while in your city it's
hard to tell if a bike mechanic is even any good.
