Also, looking at your profile statistics, you haven't been visiting the project announcements forum. Browse other people's projects, see what they're using, and learn from their experience and mistakes. It will be easier than trying to keep up with all these new question threads... Hold off on ordering ANY parts until you've seen all the options out there. You don't want to have a pile of parts you regret ordering because you changed your mind later. It's exciting when first getting into this hobby, you might think you know what you want now, but plans will change... and then they'll change again. |

I'll look into the project announcement thread and see what they've made, and make ideas based off of that. I was just afraid to look into the project announcements forum because of the fact that I didn't want to steal any other members ideas, that's all. I'm just trying to be respectful to other members of the forum, since you've all been a great help so far. |

That's what keeps this hobby evolving, knowing what works, knowing what doesn't, and trying something new. If we didn't wan't people sharing our ideas, we wouldn't post them on the interwebs. ;) |

Take your time and do a lot of research, it will be time well spent. |

As for what darthpaul said, I'll take some research for a bit around the forums and look at the articles posted(along with reading saint's book that he published once it comes in the mail, which is this tuesday). |
