Cool, good luck! Most likely, the brains of it will be a single-board computer (like a Raspberry Pi) working off an SD (or similar) card. My STRONG advice would be to copy the card to a hard drive before jumping into things, so that you have a backup on hand and can be in a position to restore the system yourself if things get screwy.
Yep, I have an external hard drive I use for weird backups that will be put to use.

I am thinking the same thing as a retirement gift for my family.
It's a good price comparatively for what we're getting since we have to do some assembly ourselves. But it's all easy cam lock stuff; no different than buying a desk from Office Depot or something like that. It's probably $1000+ cheaper than a fully built, "plug and play" model from other sites so that's a pretty good savings for the person-hours required to get it up and running.
