# Build Your Own
These instructions will guide you thorugh purchasing all of the parts needed to assemble kits for yourselves and for friends! Please note the hardware is licensed non-comercial.
If you'd like to buy the kits pre-packaged/pre-flashed or fully assembled we have a network of makers here to help you out at https://scsi.blue
## Order Parts
Updated for 1.0-c.
### PCB's
Grab the latest Gerbers. Gerber files tell the PCB manufactuer how to create the BlueSCSI boards.
https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI/tree/main/hw/gerbers
Order the boards from https://jlcpcb.com/ or your manufactuer of choice.
### Components
A Mouser project can be found here with all the parts -
NOTE: you only need 1 of the header packs for ~20 boards, so adjust acccordingly.

Beware of fakes and buy from a place where returns are easy. Ensure the photo in the listing shows a chip that says STM32 on it.
