This would seem to be a key question, at least it is for me as I'm
on an overly tight budget right now. Judging by what I've been
able to retreive from the list we're quite a way from being able
to come up with a number. Issues: board cost, electrodes/cabling,
enclosure, etc.

Since this seems to be early in the "beta" phase of the project,
(ie ... other designs exist and may be explored, in addition
to the issues mentioned previously) people should be aware of
this and participate in hardware testing on this basis.

Semi-related: I'm willing to spend some time trolling around the
net for least cost components. And on the IRDA issue, Epox
sells units for 3 1/2 and 5" slots for their motherboards at
$US 25 delivered (probably US only). I can provide a link to their
orderform if this aspect of the project is pursued.
