I was actually referring to you making the aluminum frames yourself, since you can get broken aluminum windows free from scrap yards. You can also get scrap pieces of aluminum dual-pane frame from construction sites, if you find the companies that install the windows, often, they'll sell you the pieces of frame that you want at their cost per foot, which is substantially cheaper than you can get it on your own.

I suppose if you're getting a good price (which is relative, frankly) it's just as well that you buy them from someone else and help out a local (probably small) business.
