That's OK as Lennart pointed out name brand stuff usually comes complete
with the necessary parts.

However in twenty five years of tinkering and a couple of hundred builds,
I've learned to plan for my own fumbling fingers and trying to mix and
match from different supply streams.

I brought them up because GTALUG doesn't have a particular place of their
own. I checked the Hacklab website and it looks like the list
administrators have their monthly meeting at that location.

Also FYI Tuesdays after 6pm is the open house.

I live close to that location so if it is just unfamiliarity with the build
process and it can be done there, I'd be happy to lend a hand at some point.
