After a lot of sifting through various web sites looking for parts, I've gotten a price for you.
My LED controller boards will be priced at $69.95 plus shipping.
This includes the controller board, a parallel port cable, a power cable, and a CD-R with software. It does not include LEDs or wiring.
I apologize for not being able to offer the board to you cheaper. I was hoping for a better price, but it just didn't work out that way.
Once I go to the post office to see how much shipping is to the continental U.S., I'll post what the shipping cost is. At that point I'll start taking preorders.
Here's how the preorders will work. You send me a money order for the price of the board plus shipping. Once I have enough money to order the parts, I do that. Boards will be shipped in the order that the preorders are received. Note that I didn't mention PayPal. That's because I will not accept PayPal for the preorders. I will accept it once the preorders are done.
I don't want to take overseas money orders, so the Euros, Aussies and others will have to wait to order their boards until preordering is done.
The reason I'm not taking PayPal for the preorders is that if not enough preorders are made within a certain time span, I'll cancel this venture and mail you back all your money orders. I'll be out stamps for everyone's money orders, I don't want to be out Paypal charges as well.
I will post back with the shipping cost. I'll also post a FAQ.
