I guess the title says it all, how to videos, where you buy your supplies etc
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Lady Ada -- projects and parts; Manhattan, New York, USA
SparkFun Electronics -- Boulder, Colorado, USA
Neither is specifically musical but both have plenty of stuff you can use in music projects.

I have noticed enclosures of pretty much any kind is relatively expensive. Thanks to the New World Order of economics you can buy 2.5 inch HD enclosures dirt cheap from China. Dealextreme has plenty of them for 5-6 dollars.
They're quite small but larger 3.5 inch ones are from 20 dollars and up.
Makes nice enclosures for DIY midi controllers as they already have USB ports and some comes with power supplies too.
