Hello,
So I've done research, read advise from others, weighed pros and cons and I think I am getting close to putting in an order for a new build. This is a new process of purchasing equipment for me since it seems to be buying parts from several vendors and then putting them all together in hopes that it all works. Can I get some opinions/advise on the shopping list that I put together with a lot of help from others? I will have a computer that should be adequate to run any necessary software, so I don't have any computer information included. I will also build a stand myself, so I didn't include the cost for that.
Please let me know if there is something missing or if someone has another suggestion for a part. I'm sure there will be opinions of manufacturers, but please let me know if there is something missing.
