getting into Audrino computer controllers

I fix oven and washer boards from time to time. Sometimes I cannot fix them and they are no longer made.
I'm looking into Audrino and it seems I can get a relay controller and a temp probe and run it all together, basically mimicking the original controller.
I just ordered some controllers, and all kinds of other crap. It was cheap so $120 worth is a ton of stuff coming.
Goal is to build a fully functional oven controller and build a servo + Axworthy pulley system flying santa Christmas display.
Just wonering if any one else is into the Audruino stuff.

I really, really want to get into it, but nowadays my time is so limited and my interests are so divided that I would need a practical reason for it -- a project that results in fulfilling a need or supplying a valuable convenience. Otherwise it all ends up in a drawer with other abandoned projects.

Arduino is VERY easy to pick up, especially if you have even minimal C+ programming skills. I've made several gadgets using them, including a touch screen controller for my saltwater aquarium. It reads temps, adjusts heating, sets light times and even controls an LED strip to mimic the current moon phase. Cost me less than $150.
You can pretty much do anything with them, which is awesome for a $30 "toy"

If you're going with the arduino + relay, check out the Sainsmart relays. I've used them in 4 projects so far and can't recommend them enough. Cheap too. I recently bought a 16 channel for something like $22.
ETA: My latest project was a Christmas light controller using the 16 channel relay
