Yes. :) The prototype shown in the video is indeed built off a barebones device similar to the one you link to (not the exact same model). So it is indeed not hard at all - most HN readers will be able to assemble a device similar to our campaign themselves. But I want to clarify we are not running this to as a money-making campaign!
