Who cares if he bought a bunch of stuff and is figuring out how to make it work? It's a great learning opportunity and he's getting some real practical use out of this stuff. In reality it's his money to spend and I'm glad to see someone sharing their "build" and sharing a bit of experience and whatnot. If he did some stuff "wrong" who cares? There's nothing useful in being judgemental and derisive. I learned a few things from his post and I think others will too -- and the author himself will surely be learning more as time goes on. It's all good.
