Price is the issue in my case. I have a budget of $650 max. That includes sheetmetal, casters, wiring, etc. Luckily I am well known for scrounging up parts. That price does not include the DDC or any parts I already had on hand.

To put it this way, they were going to kill the project over eight A350P's at $70 a pop. However, I don't skimp on pots or precision resistors and the wire I have for it is leftovers from a job and it is high quality, high priced hook up wire.

Getting it going is priority one and if I have technical difficulties I have the leverage of "It's already 90% complete so cough up some dough to finish it."

It usually works. A mix of tenacity and persuasion can get alot done.
