    This isn't the forum for this question. The best place is where the tech savvy hang, and that's the Hardware Forum.

    I'm on my phone or I'd include the link. But go to the Overview page of this forum and look at the right side. There's a list of allied forums including the Hardware forum.

    Hey, you have to get started somehow ... somewhere, right? We all did.

    Maybe Jeff ... SAFEHARBOR11​ ... or one of the others around here can offer ideas.
