I think this is not the Right Time to Give Configuration . Your purchase date is 3 Months Away . During this time many new features or components may arrive. Ask your Brothers Friend to buy within a week or Two.

sandynator, create a thread asking for help around 1 month before the purchase, no point of creating 3 months ahead of the purchase.

Closing this one.
