The Home Depot has some of the tools I need at reasonable prices for instance today I bought a 12″ combination square for $4.99 + tax =$5.39 . Home improvement stores have alot of what I need but some things I order from Amazon.com . They have everything such as the book “How To Build an Android: The true story of Philip K. Dick’s robotic resurection”. So with the book I only spent about $23.00 on my android project this month. I am not sure what the next step should be but I think building a computer from nothing but parts would a good start. Don’t get me wrong I know what to do and how to do it I have just never had a good reason to build my own computer. This is going to delay work on my android project for months but I need a good PC. It’s not that it will take months to build , just months to acumulate the parts on my budget. “So here goes nothing”.smiley
