Scott,

If you have decent manual dexterity and can handle small screws, and can 
follow well written instructions correctly,  then the kit should not be 
a problem.  Your DMM and a *good* phillips screwdriver (plus a small 
straight blade screwdriver) is all the equipment that is required - and 
although some may consider it 'equipment', I think of it as creating a 
working space - you should have an anti-static mat to work on and an 
anti-static wrist strap.  Download the assembly manual and you can see 
the equipment required is listed.

Go for it, you will not be sorry.

73,
