.....soldering all the components together is not an option
I agree. With schematic capture you do not have to verify that the traces are routed correctly. The last time I checked Eagle was the only free layout program that provided it.Etch your own. It can take a bit of practice, but it's worth it. One nice thing is I hardly look at pinouts anymore. Once you've verified a library part that's it. Schematic, place and route the board and just solder it on.
There's probably hundreds of etching threads on here already.
Q: Well slap me like a data sheet and call me Suzy! I am ready to get going here, I know how the parts work, I have a schematic, all my parts and I am ready to go, but what tools do I need and how should I put all the parts together?
A: Ok, let's talk about breadboards, and circuit building.
This site looks like a pretty good one.
