Careful soldering on the board when you do get an iron. If you dont own a soldering iron I assumed you dont have a heap of experience soldering. I've had a decent amount of experience soldering little fiddley things and circuit boards (modding consoles etc) but this is a different game all together. With the pcb itself an incredible heatsink, you need to use a powerful iron, and with so many heat sensitive components nearby its easy to ruin something. I've soldered on a few MMs succesfully, but also killed 4 of them trying.
