Since the
Kakabox build thread is getting rather long (winded), I thought it might be nice to make a companion thread that would have links to some of the more interesting posts from the main build thread. This way all you'd have to do is search on "
Kakabox Index" and then click on the link to get to the topic you'd like to review.
I'll add to the index as the build thread continues...
