Phil questioned the cost values for the Ren-T and I double checked my BOM and I had both transformers listed. Took out the Tamura and that drops all parts in the BOM to about $20 and a typical Case 3 build down to about $18.75. Now of course anybody who decides to leave off the power entry module and AC cable can also save another $9 but that is not what I intended for the chart. The chart shows an estimate of what the listed BOM will run at Mouser.
Also, I tilted the estimate alittle high so that when someone actually went to buy the parts and it came in cheaper than the chart they would be happier than if their total was higher. I also didn't consider shipping directly into the numbers but it definitely would also push the number up.
