Thread: Advice needed

I've got another thread running about my first build, but need some advice/suggestions re the electronics etc. I've been reading everything I can, and am trawling the Internet. BUT, this can be a bit confusing.

I'm setting up a spreadsheet, so that I can keep track of what, where, and how much. Whilst I need to get as many bangs for my dollars as I can, I am fully conscious that a bad choice will really ruin my day.

I've attached the Excel workbook, as it may be useful to someone else. A zero in the 'select' row adds the item to the cost total, and you vary the exchange rate as required.

If anyone would like to add to the list, it would be greatly appreciated. As would feedback and suggestions on what I should get.
