Hey, welcome here.
The thing is that I built my first Pi kits years ago as a total newbie and found them easier once I slowed down. The plans are comprehensive, and if you can solder like you said you’ll handle the wiring fine. I didn’t know electronics either and still pulled through.
I spent about $180 on MDF for three 3π and two 2π cabinets from the local lumber yard. Plywood would have run higher. Flat-packs are an option if cutting panels feels intimidating at first.
I like your idea of finishing the boxes before ordering the kits. That’s exactly what I did, so nothing sat unused in the basement while I practised.
Take your time, measure thrice, and feel free to ask me anything here if you are stuck with it.
