Thanks very much for the compliment! For the best result, I can offer the following advice: Be clear about the design, make sure you know
exactly what you want before you start building. Then, don't compromise on any of the design elements just because something else is cheaper or more readily available. It is much better to save up and/or search for the parts you really want than to buy something you are just going to replace later on.
Be sure to let us know when you get out here - there are many of us locals here on the forums. Maybe we can arrange a guided tour.
