setup can range from 1-5 hours depending on how intense you make your macros off the get go. You can keep it really simple and be up and running very fast. Or you can plan out all your macros and spend a good portion of your night doin that instead of lvling.

Your best bet would be to snag a few trial accounts and just play with it for 10 days before you go and invest in new accounts. No loss other than time this way.
