Kit for SMD beginner - 0805

[atreidesheir]

This would be a nice kit for those of us ready to dive into smd building.

I am not going smd yet, but this would be a nice gateway purchase.

Nice find. THanks for sharing.

I like the little book, but unless you're going all smd and building many, its probably much cheaper to get 10-20 pieces of the values you need (and a few extras) from tayda or mouser.

I buy from mouser and just get 100 of every value for a build I need.  Over time, my stock of resistors grew so I have plenty of the values I use regularly.
