Thanks Geoffrey, i'll have a look at some build threads here, even if it's beyond my ability it really makes interesting reading.

It's the wiring that concerns me as i've always been a believer in not messing with the two things i can't see; electricity and gas but it may be the only way to get the machine that ticks all the boxes.

What is the project Sylvaski is undertaking? i'll have a look around and try to find it if it's public, many thanks for the welcome and advice :)
