Welcome to AF.
Looks like you're off to a good start, will be interesting to watch the progress.
As Marc mentioned, keep electronics and modeling stuff separate. Filing dust in your keyboard will do damage in the long run and the screen attracts dust anyway...
I like your creative approach with the tool holder, good thinking. Oh.... you shouldn't have any problems finding good hobby shops in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. I spent some time there in 2001 (admittedly a long time ago) and remember going to several rather large and well sorted hobby shops. I do not remeber any names or locations, but other forum members will be able to help you. Just search for "Minneapolis, hobby shop, etc" and if you don't get any results, post a "Hobby shops in Minneapolis" thread. Good luck!
Cheers
PS: Pls read the how-to about taking pictures. Even the best best does look like cr*p if it's badly photographed | + you get more views and comments with proper pics
