No, just buy a bunch of ballasts, they're cheap. Normally $5 or so, but a few months ago Home Depot had them marked down to 48 cents, and when I bought several of them they rang up at 6 cents! By the time you buy a ballast, starter, sockets, etc though you might spend more than a cheap fixture costs, although the components will be higher quality in most cases.
