How to assemble ASUS KGPE-D16 yourself?
Hi all . Nice to meet you . Excellent site, a lot of useful and interesting information.
I decided to create this topic to build ASUS KGPE-D16 myself, I’m sure there are many who want to do the same thing.
I've read various comments on reddit about users having problems and not getting through to the end.
It would seem that there are clues:
Take it and do it yourself, but as experience shows, in reality everything is not so simple)) especially if you are doing it for the first time.
I would be grateful if someone who has already had experience would share information.
At the moment I am in a situation where I need to buy all the parts and start assembling. Here is my list (attached below), if I made a mistake somewhere, correct me.
