It would be cheaper to buy it in kit form.

If you try to collect the parts it may wind up more expesive due to
shipping...depending on how n\many places you gotta go to...and also,
availability, hunting the parts down, etc.  This method is the worst.

Unless you want the exercise of building the board, you should buy the
assembled one. Many problems arise from building the board.  Even if you
have no problems, the time you take to build the board may be quite
long.  It depends on your experience with soldering etc.  But if you're a
board assembling pro, you have no need for the excercise.

Each approach has its own merits.  It depends on what you want to accomplish.

Hope this helps.

Do any of you have a more informative parts list?  (Or did I miss it on the
ftp site?) I am looking at buying the gear to build 25 handyboards for a
High school project and need to find out if it would be cheaper to buy/ have
the parts donated or purchase them in kit form.  The maual has a parts list,
but some of  the components don't have the specs that I need.  ie:
monolithic capacitors- What capacity, tolerence, etc.

Thanks in Advance,
