build out list(s) - grimace - 11-20-2018

I'm looking at the RockPro64 and would like to put together a working SBC, but I'm not quite sure what ( in addition to the CPU board ) what to purchase.  Is there a comprehensive list of what is needed to get it running?

This also applies to other models.

Basic is PSU (i strongly recommend the oficial one) and storage media (oficial EMMC is recommended, but SD card work fine if good brand) and case if you need one, other than that it depends on your needs, external HDD, cables, wifi if you cant place it near an ethernet port, etc...

So fan and heat sink are not necessary?

Heatsink in most situations is necessary, yea, fan depends on your use case usually...
