I checked on prices yesterday... It's very dependant on how many are
ordered. Looks like total cost, board + parts would be around $200 for a
quantity of 10, or $120 for a quantity of 100. With the bare boards going
from $80+ to under $10.
I'll post more, after some real world testing.

>    could be modified, or written that will talk to it.
> 11.Cost.... cheap, or at least worth the price :)
