I guess this is just of those things where I take the plunge feet first, and hope for the best lol
I appreciate all the help so far, you guys seem pretty knowledgeable with this stuff, and I'm glad you guys can help me when I post questions.
Do you guys have any recommendations on what to store my chips in? Currently, I have a shitty chip case that is brutal, where can I buy "racks"? Do they generally come with the chips, or do I have to buy them separate? How much do they cost? Are they generic in size so that many kinds of chips fit?
Sorry im such a noob with this stuff.
Ill keep you guys posted for sure with what I decide to do.

Do NOT do this . . . take your time. ESPECIALLY if you want "nice" chips. Far better to invest in several sample sets, or borrow some, than to buy a set that 6 months down the road you are thinking "meh" about.

That way, they are always on display . . . at least somewhat. You can even get a 600 pc. clear case, but the one I have does not seem all that durable. Still, if you are OCD careful with it, it'll be fine.
Also, when are you going to ask about cards? hee hee hee

Dice chips.
Following that, I bought a set of "Vegas" chips off someone at HPT. That was a "jump right in" type mistake. Then came the ceramic tourney set, followed by the ceramic micro-cash set. Pretty sure I over-paid on both, but I liked them, and still do. Then came everything else. If I had one piece of advice, chips aside, it would be to find out what "feel" you like, and go from there. Some like ceramics, some like clay. I like both, but prefer clay now. Once you have the "feel" sorted out, then you can move on to solids vs. edge spots, denominations, etc.
But it starts with how they feel in your hands/fingers . . .

I'm still on the hunt, from what I have seen, I really like the pharoah's, I'm trying to find a set of brightly colored chips (pink, orange, yellow, etc)
One of my close friends is color blind and has trouble with darker colors (black green, blue) so I'm hoping a brighter set would help him, plus i like bright colors

For your price range, stay with the Pharouh's. You might want to check out the Desert Palms or Dunes selection too, but like Moose says, buy them from TheChipRoom otherwise you're getting the cheap plastic ones.
You'll never find brighter chips than the GCR's. Positively vibrant colours, beautiful hotstamp, but out of your price range.
Like Jedi Master Moose said, get samples.
