Here is a pic of my latest fpv quad build. It is constructed exclusively from gear I had here in my parts bins, aside from 16 x 6mm M3 screws which I pilfered from a 7 year old AIO desktop PC.
The motors are a bit long in the tooth and the ESCs are a bit 'how's your father', but other than that it seems to be a pretty well sorted build (not 6S ready... but what are ya gonna do). Everything is as I would like it, though I do get puzzling (and somewhat disturbing) jitters from the motors when the quad is disarmed... which I can't seem to fault find or remedy in any way... however once armed she goes like a ripper with no perceivable sync or control issues (though I do get a tiny momentary lean on hard punch-outs).
Having put half a dozen packs through it since tuning it up this morning, I am really quite happy with it. Not too shabby for a build that took an evening and effectively cost nothing to put together.
