    Hi Thanks for the nice words, all the parts I have purchased have been done over a long time - 3 or so years, so if you were to do it in one hit you would need a big budget but I have done this by saving about $40 to $50 a week over that time. This is not the cheapest hobby but it's a lot better than some.

    Not only a great hobby Steve, but as my wife also says "it keeps you off the streets!"

    It's rumoured that everytime someone buys a TB6560 based board, an engineer cries!
