Hi Michael,
Welcome aboard, this is probably the best 986 site I have found with loads of 'how to' guides.
The Boxster is relatively straight forward to work on yourself. If you can get the back end on ramps, you can access most things from underneath (plugs, coils etc), but some of the top side stuff is fiddly. If you are handy with the spanners, its fine.
Access to the aux belt for example is from the inside of the car (randomly) as there is a panel behind the seats that comes out.
There is no space age tech in there, oil leaks are common from the RMS and AOS (on mine) but parts are readily available - I find 'the Porscheshop' online in Birmingham to be pretty good for parts and knowledge.

If unsure, just ask on here as there seem to be specialist bods for most areas of the car.

I had a '95 GT4 (ST205) a couple of years back, loved it and the Porsche driving feel is pretty similar, one of my favourite bits!

Welcome and good luck!
