Any particular reason, like you found a cheaper supplier, or just felt nice, or needed more sales?

Buying in bulk I was able to get things greatly reduced in cost, mostly the blank circuit board.  those are horribly priced when buying "sample" quantities like I had been, not confident that I could sell them off if I bought too many in bulk, but it's been 9months now of using that board and I took the plunge.

This is great, Druin! $38 is a steal for your interface. If I ever get around to building a cab, I'll definately buy one now.

I LOVE YOU!  

I have been going between writing a driver for mame... because I couldn't afford it...

Well, I think I can come up with 40 bucks somewhere!

I hope none of you are buying the kit or assembled product.  If you are a true build your your own controls type of guy you will use the schematic on the site and buy your parts individually and build it yourself.
