kind of. Some prices are still estimated, some still unknown:

DC/DC converters  12,- USD complete incl. taxes and shipping (arrived)
Cypress FX2       8,30 EUR + taxes and shipping (ordered)
PCB              ~9-12 EUR + taxes and shipping (http://www.pcbpool.de)
remaining parts  ~30,- USD + taxes and shipping (http://www.mouser.com/)

I don't know yet the exact price for the frontend, right now I have 2 
samples on my desk. I expect ~8-25EUR, hopefully I will know more next week.

230V power adaptor: depends on how cheap you buy it - maybe you already 
own one...

I don't know how much shipping we will have to add, when you live near 
Berlin you can visit us and pick up your kit personally.

Beside this we consider to ask a professional PCB assembly company to 
solder it all together - especially the LT1940 is a little bit tricky. 
When they do it for an affordable price we would let them do this...

Any opinions?

Holger
