Dear god, it has been too long since I last soldered anything. Such a frustrating night. I may have ruined my speaker trying to solder the wires onto it. But I can say it got easier. I wired up my recharge port quite nicely. AV switches are next.

Welcome to saber building. It's always harder than it looks in the beginning - especially the soldering, even if you have done it before. Practice, practice, practice.
I think I have finally done it! After quite some time and broken parts(switch, disks), wrong parts(Battery packs), and almost broken sound cards(accidentally popped one of the SMT components off during soldering) I have successfully put together my first saber. I still need to fine tune the settings so that swing works right but it turns on and off, and the Aux switch works. I am charging the battery now and hopefully I will have it 100% tonight. Sry for not posting any pictures but the only camera I have right now takes horrible low quality pics and I wouldnt want to sully these forums with such crap.
Glad it came out ok then :)
Can't wait to see it!
