Costs

So, what did this entire project cost? The table below lays out what I paid for each component. You could probably find some of these components more cheaply than what I paid. For example, some of the pieces have been sitting on shelves in my house for some time, and they can be had now for much less than what I originally paid.

Costs not considered below:

  • sales tax

  • shipping costs

  • miscellaneous hardware like zip ties, random screws, etc.

  • tools I needed but didn't have
