Some of my pain is self inflicted since I don't have a windows machine, Mac and Linux only. I've found freeCad and BRL cad not very usable. A friend of mine really likes google sketch-up. I think PTC may have a student/hobby edition for windows only. VariCAD is more affordable, but I've not really played with it. The really high end ones like Catia, Hyperworks, or unigraphics seem to be right-out for hobbyists.
