    I know people lol. My family is full of diy kind of guys. I would probably go with the kit that doesn't require soldering myself though. Even though it would be cool to have my father-in-law come over and help me out. ;D

    You can never go wrong with that. I always try to research what I want and ask plenty of questions. I don't like to waste money lol. ;D
