I've built several such kits and have a couple more lined up. My advice would be
that if it's something that interests you, go for it. No understanding of why or
how it works is necessary to assemble a kit computer, and you don't
have to build it all in one day. A little soldering here, a little soldering
there... You might make some mistakes, and you'll have to figure out how to
correct them, and that's when you start learning why and how it works. In my
experience, the makers and/or designers of such kits are extremely willing to
help in troubleshooting problems; *they're* the ones who have that knowledge.
