Bones:
Should have also mentioned.....
If after reading the instructions and looking over the parts another 10 times and I still feel I am completely out of my league, where I work there are about 12 electricians and 2 electrical engineers so I might send out an email advertising a free case of beer for assembly and see what happens.
However, much of me yearns to take up the challenge myself so the decision to have somebody else assemble it doesn't sit well at the moment.
Time will tell.

You stop being a "moron" by learning. So I 'd say it's a good idea to try things out. Of course there are limits ... ;)
I have put several of these kit things together and I know little about electronics. You just solder in the components. How hard can it be? It can't be more difficult than a jigsaw puzzle. Allthough I must admit this puzzle looks a bit more daunting than the ones I tried.
