automation questions

Hi,



I am building my own entertaninent console and would like to incorporate sliding panels that I can activate via remote.



I would like to start small and cheap to experiment with so I am looking for a link, catalogue, kit etc to a place that would sell a basic motor to do this for me. Something like a car antenae motor would rock but it would need do be able to run off house current.



If I can get it working to my satisfaction, I would like to figure out how to control it remotely from either a universal remote or an lcd type of remote. I am looking for a dummies guide/link/kit to doing something like this.



Any help here would be appreciated. Even key words to look for on ebay or google would definitely help too.
