OT: Online Stock Trading

Hi all,
I have been thinking lately that I want to invest about $1,000 in trading stocks online. First, is this a good idea? I've been looking at Online websites such as E-Trade, Scottrade, etc. I'm essentially wanting to do nothing but research my own invests and have little if no relationship with a personal broker. Will I lose money by doing the online thing and only investing $1,000? I'm a total newbie to this but its always peaked my interest. Really, all I'm looking for is an online site that would let me put $1,000 on and buy/sell stocks. Obviously I'd be holding stocks and wouldnt be looking to trade a ton with only $1,000 to invest. Has anyone here done this? If so, what site did you use? Any information or experiances would be greatly appreciated!
