I'm slightly new to the mac community... I was wondering if it's possible to build my own mac, and if it is, where would be a good place to start researching?

Nope.
Get a PowerMac G4 or G5 and you could add a video card, RAM, DVD burner, PCI cards, or upgrade the processor (G4s only).
That's about it for customization.

If you ever put together your own PC you aren't really missing anything or have any lacking knowledge as to how its build. There are a few diffrent components in Mac( PPC processor, motherboard) but other than that its the same principal. What truely sets a mac apart from a PC is the fact that you don't have to worry about drivers, compatibility and what not. You hook it up, turn it on, and it works (untill a part dies out). It makes useing a computer so much easier.
