It's $140 with the dub top. Not bad!

I got bored today and pulled out the CF and made a battery plate. I'll get pics up ASAP ;)

Here are the pictures of my battery mount. I'll be working more on it to get the plate lower and lined up better, but other than that is perfect! Wo needs to spend $30 when you can do it for free?

Boo-urns.... I was expecting to see a prototype build thread. Nice start though, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of these after it's released.
