- Let's order some stuff (or at least plan it)
- Can't do any yet because of bank things, Darren needs to get access to online banking
- Anyone interested in a group DIY powerpole distro order
- 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
