Last chance to get a board.

I hope the boards will be ordered in the next few hours. Those who paid will have their names as supporters on the PCB :) Looks like 15 will be ordered, 2 will be in the sore (or 1 if I take 2 boards myself)..

Please check the thing...

As a reminder, pre-ordering is now over and the boards have been put into production. People who paid already have all had their names printed on the motherboard and got the pre-order discounted price. There may be a couple of boards left over, I will add them into my store in due time.

There will be about 2 more days for production, then its down to shipping (I paid fedex $80!) So I hope they will be here end of next week. I should be able to start shipping them out not long after that.

Shipping costs has been a problem, so I am just shipping out the PCB alone. I was looking to try and ship some parts, but its going to be hard to ship items with a otherwise flat motherboard package.

I opened up a new thread for parts kits, Slightly annoying if people go for that as they will have to order from my store a second time for parts, but it will be cheaper in some cases as its just not viable to ship the motherboard in a huge box with other items inside, the postage jumps up rather a lot!
