Yes, basically. What Im saying, is that no matter which one you pick, you will get the same board. If you want a wiring harness, its gonna cost extra. If you want a special wiring harness (trackabll) its gonna cost u even more.
If you buy the 29 dollar board, and BYO wiring harness, you still get the functionality of the trackabll, just you had to make your own wires. He's selling the wires basically.

The wires, the connectors, and most importantly, the labor time. How long would it take you to split apart an IDE cable, solder longer leads onto all the wires, and attach quick disconnects to the end of each wire? How much is your time worth? I know I'm slow at that stuff, and lack of time is the biggest thing keeping me away from cab building now, so it doesn't seem so expensive to me. Folks with more time and less $$ might be of a different opinion, though.
cholin:
Im the folk with more time and less money, and believe it or not, I dont mind doing that kind of stuff. If I had the parts he used, I would probably sell the harnesses for wire charge + 5 bucks labour. I enjoy doing this kind of stuff, which will end up saving me money (not alot, wont kill you if you buy the harness)

Thanks.
I have to do some custom wiring, and I'm not using either the Happs or Ultimarc trackball, so I guess homemade is the best way to go for me.
Can anyone tell me what specific board connector/s connect to the Mini-PAC?
Thanks.
