Below is a detailed list of the recommended parts for this project. These components have been carefully selected to ensure optimal performance, compatibility, and reliability. However, we understand that availability and personal preferences may vary, so comparable parts that meet the same specifications should work as well. If substituting parts, please ensure they meet the necessary requirements to maintain functionality and performance. If you have any questions about compatibility, feel free to reach out for guidance.

Note: A Bitcoin node, once fully synced with the entire blockchain, can be "pruned" to free up storage space. Pruning allows the node to discard older blockchain data while still validating new transactions and blocks. While our guide recommends a 1 TB SSD for a full node setup, this storage capacity is more than sufficient for a pruned node, which typically requires only a few gigabytes of space. Pruning is an excellent option for users with limited storage who still want to support the network and verify transactions independently.
