Total ~$145 USD + tax + shipping and handling depending on where you get your parts from and your choice of shipping speed.

Note: Looking at options to sale this as a kit. I know there are few people in different parts of the world willing to put everything together nicely in a box and have it shipped to customers with a pre-imaged SD card and all for a small profit. Please contact me on discord (@BogGyver-theCANtamer-Philly-(R2)#9177) If you are interested in filling some orders and, once I approve you kit and price point, I will list you here.
