You'll get a good idea of where to start fairly quickly.

scroll down till you see an unfinished gamecube tutorial by kasar. That has basically everything you need to worry about when starting your project. He stopped the guide because he couldn't think up a design for a case, but that's exactly where you want to be. You already have an idea for a design.
