Hey Matt
probably two of your best options are firstly- www.bridechamber.com
They have a big selection of cgs kits & they also do panels for them. Secondly- www.elby-designs.com They also sell a wide range of cgs kits but im not sure if all have panels. However I think you may be able to negotiate a run of panels for modules that you order. They also sell kits for power supplies so you would have pretty much all bases covered there. Both of those sites & the links they provide should be very useful for your project.
My advice would be to start out on the basic modules & treat each one as a bridge to the next with the finished system being the sum of all parts. And also to make sure that you have the right tools for your journey (ie. quality)!
