it was 100$ now 135$, why??
From the Maker Shed Newsletter:
“We will continue to try to get Chumby Guts for the Maker Shed, but at this point this is the last batch we expect to receive. Unfortunately, Chumby has had to source some of the components from new vendors, and the price has increased. The new price of our Chumby Guts is $139.”
the chumby one guts? Since the complete chumby one is said to cost $100ish when it comes out, I am really anxious to find out how much its guts would cost. Plus, I think the chumby one enclosure is fugly and would love the chance to design my own.
