Is there a page that shows someone like me how to get started? I have a desktop machine that I don't use for much. It is an older machine that I would likely need to upgrade, but that's something I've been considering anyway. I probably wouldn't go less than 32GB of Ram, just because I want a clean experience on my system and it would likely be a i7 at worst, so the demands don't sound like they'd weigh my machine down. Does running a node weigh down the internet connection much? My family does enjoy our Netflix!

There you go...
