Welcome to the forum bud, I am sure within time you will become one of the educated,as for the camera I am a canny Scot and like you tried to pick things up as cheap as possible, all the chaps kept pushing the Kpc E700 but I ignored them and now have a bunch of cameras lying in the drawer the old saying you get what you pay for is defo true in this case enjoy your stay

Welcome to the forum. I wish you well with your first homebuild NV - once you get it working you'll almost certainly want to move onto something better.
It's understandable to try to get your first build up and running for the smallest spend, however, as blueeyes says you'll probably finish up buying an E700 camera and a screen with higher resolution than the 320x240 job you got for £11.58 and, depending on the range you intend to shoot at, an illuminator with longer range than a T20.
Cheers
Bruce
