Welcome to ACL.
Have a read, post some questions and possibly sit for a while in ACL chat before you buy anything or decide on anything.

Hi, welcome to ACL. The 101 Manual is indeed a good place to begin. I would also suggest that you browse the archived forums. A lot of solutions to problems can be found there. Cheers.

In whatever order works for you, the 101 Manual and browsing the other ACL sections. The Wiki, Media, and Display Videos can all help with ideas for your display and help provide solutions to problems. As mentioned above, the Chat Room is someplace too to find help, advice, or just some conversation. Another source is the Canispater Christmas videos on Youtube. Jeff makes those and his videos cover mostly the hardware side of the hobby from a hands-on perspective.

Beyond the just mentioned, As Alan posted above, I too suggest to delay the purchase of any pieces/parts until you have a better idea of what hardware and software is available and what works together.
