If you ever spent Christmas Eve putting toys together for your kids, you probably are qualified to go with the kit!!! Hi. It's really just an assembly process, and the instructions are pretty straight forward. More than anything, it is a matter of just being careful, reading the instructions, and not trying to go too fast. Inventory the parts carefully (that's critical!), and separate them in an organized fashion. Do that, and you have half the battle won. Some parts may be a close fit, but they do fit! Tool requirements are relatively simple, and no soldering. In the end, you know a lot more about what is inside the case, and where it is.

You need a lot of room, so unless you have a particularly large, uncluttered work bench, use the dining room table with a good protective pad on top. Order in pizza--no cooking during assembly!

Anyway, saving the $200 is not the wrong thing to do, unless a reasonable amount of patience is not one of your virtues. It doesn't take all that long, and it's really not all that difficult, but you do need to proceed with reasonable care. I recommend some nice soft, soothing music in the background just to keep yourself relaxed! Hi.
