I have no idea where to start on this thing. . . I'm almost about ready to just put it in the vualt of good ideas never used. . .

If you are not sure you want to do the project, and are considering not doing it now, then don't do it.
You need to be 100% sure you want to start before you do, otherwise you may not be committed enough to see it through, and end up with a half finished project with a lot of money tied up in it.
If you do decide to continue then start with anything on the list of components you will need, and once you have enough of them to start putting something together go for it.
