Is the SNES a good first portable to make?

I kinda want to make a SNESp, but I have no experience whatsoever. Is it a good first project? I have all the parts except battery and case.

Go for it, just don't do anything stupid. Mind you SNES's can take much more abuse than N64s.

It took me 4, but I had no experience with electronics other than soldering AA's to 1.5V motors with a 100-W soldering gun. (Gun, not iron).

2 died to trying to relocate it. I never had non-conductive flux though...

I've put a couple of SNES's through a heck of a lot and am yet to have one die on me. They're pretty tough suckers as far as electronics go.

SNES was my first(and only, so far) and look where I am today, a SNES forum mod:D.

YYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! it is excellent, even though I killed three, I had no experience with this, It was better than starting on a N64! you can do something harder once you get all the basics down when making an easier portable. and you have all the resources when making a harder one.
