    I don't see anything missing. Looks like you've done your homework. Should be easily upgradable in the future.

    Also, just in case you weren't aware: You can get 10% off your order on May the Fourth.

    Got it all up and running! Piece of cake! My only
    Question is, if I'm using the regular screw to hold the blade in, should it go in all the way so it's flush? Do I need to cut the screw or go buy a shorter one?

    Tighten the screw *just* until it is snug. That's it. Any more than that and you'll eventually risk stripping out the threads on your saber.

    If it's sticking out further than you'd like, you can either get a shorter screw or cut it down a bit. Either way is fine. I personally prefer to just get a new screw, since I'm good at buggering up the threads when I'm cutting them.

    Hey guys! Got everything going but now my heart (and saber) is calling for some sound!

    Is there a thread here with a parts list for the PC 2.0? I can't seem to find anything with specifics.
