** about £ 20 each as kit (hopefully less)
*** USD33 for 10 boards (might be more with the improved copper layer) (with tax up to £3 each)
*** Powerpoles for 10 £3.65*2 + £2.65 = ~£10 (£12 for 6 way splitter)
*** Fuses £0.3 each (£1.8)
*** Other components (not much probably less than £1)
*** can probably laser cut/3d print a case no idea on cost though
