hey Architect, sounds like a pretty cool project you are about to design. about the tutorials, heres a link which helped me dramatically even though the tut looks newbieish...dont know if this will help you any bit or you already know it but here it is.

also a tip just to spare, plan before you start building because you will end up having trouble and it will kick you in the butt, lol.
