It was annoying for the following reasons:
1) There is no kit for this, had to order everything separately.
2) Finding out what the correct cables are was very difficult because nowhere on the spec does it state what connector the m2 card uses! Only after getting the wrong ones did I find it was MHF4
3) There is no backplate on these m2 cards which means there is nowhere to attach the antennas to apart from the backplate of the motherboard itself. You don't need to drill it but it's very fiddly trying to screw the antennas in place whilst holding the motherboard close enough inside the case, then once you have screwed them in place you need to fiddle with tucking away the excess wire.
In retrospect I would have preferred to buy the Taichi or Fatal1ty professional and just get the thing built in!
