Cost for DIY Build?

[D Jennings]

For those that have done a DIY build, what's been you cost once done?

I'd say it's probably about $200-$250 by the time you have it all in a case with 4 probes and a servo damper.

I have a cost breakdown in the Wiki, but you're looking at at least $180 for one probe. Probes being $15 each, 4 probes would be $225. None of these numbers include a method to attach the blower, so figure $25+ there too so $250 is a realistic number.

Worth every penny and a lot of fun besides. I've built 3 and will continue when next major revision comes out. Really great project.

Wow. I just realized just how much cash I have spent on building my three. Still worth it.

I really wish the "CHIP" computer was coming down the line a little bit quicker. At $9 including the memory and WiFi it would net a nice reduction in the price of a HM build VS buying a rPi, SD card and WiFi dongle.
