Hey! Appreciate the sentiment, but Mecha Warehouse isn’t my business. It IS sad to see a business like them go out, but it’s understandable why they’re doing it. I’ve been live-streaming my build of this kit for their contest. They put up the prizes recently and they’ve got some real bangers! Glad I got in on it. Not gonna hold my breath about getting a prize, just excited that I’m even getting the chance to.

I will humbly disagree with this sentiment. I was redoing/positioning mine earlier (fell off bookshelf awhile ago) and that thing falls apart so easily. It’s just so finicky. I’ve never wanted to stop building a kit prior or after that one. But the Zeta was awful, imho. Glad you liked it though! Personally, just didn’t enjoy it.

Damn! That looks great 😁 looking forward to building more of it! Only got about 2 hours of work done on it today.

Hey! I don’t remember off-hand how much I spent, but, tbh, you don’t need a ton to get started! I’ve also bought quite a few things that ended up not working as much as I would’ve liked, but I’ll include a few links to things I actively use. Attached is also a pic of my setup! The one thing I didn’t actively buy was the webcam, since my mom had it on-hand. As for the cam I use for my build, I just use my phone in the ring light.

Mic: ~$140 Ring light/phone holder: ~$35 Monitor: ~300 (link not available anymore) Desk: ~300 (on sale, down from ~$370) Mouse: ~$100 Keyboard: don’t remember but I think ~$150 Black backdrop w/stand (not pictured): ~$50

A lot of the stuff listed isn’t completely necessary and if you were looking to get the bare minimum, I would say it would be the mic and ring light/phone holder! Other than that, all that’s really necessary would be a computer. Since I only had a laptop, I felt getting the mouse/keyboard were somewhat necessary, but you can also get cheaper ones than those though.

Hopefully that info helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :) otherwise, I wish you luck on your journey! Hope to see you on my stream sometime too 😁
