KMAC 2 build log
« on: Sat, 17 May 2014, 12:03:03 »
Hey guys! So I just received everything for my KMAC 2 and a bunch of other stuff. I am super excited to start building next week when I get back from a trip, but for now all I have are the pictures of the components. Check back soon though!  :p

Good luck from me as well - the KMAC 2 was also my first build and its honestly the most newbie-friendly board to build.  I recommend getting some shelf liner to pad the inside once you're done, to reduce the ping and echo a bit.
