Not including the LED board (and LEDs), I've got about $600 in it (not 
including shipping and taxes), but I could have cut some corners.  Could 
have save about $30 using a regular laptop DVD-ROM instead of slot-load 
DVD with CD-RW.  Another $30 going from 1Gig CF to 512M.  Could have 
used less memory probably.  The largest expense is the MB at about 
$285.  Of course I could have skipped the compact flash entirely and 
just went with PXE boot.  Decisions, decisions... ;-)

I thought about selling them, but I doubt enough people would be 
interesting in paying what I would need to charge (including labor and 
LED board, etc) for just a frontend.  I can get quantity discounts on 
the motherboard, but it would require several people to want the same 
type of board.  The YPbPr motherboard and the DVI board are different so 
I wouldn't be able to combine for quantity.
