For those of us who can't get enough Pi (

comparison, a Model B ordered from Newark Electronics and shipped to
California, USA:

Mdse Total: $35.00 Sales Tax: $2.71 Freight: $7.16 Invoice Total: $44.87

In comparison, http://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-Model-B/dp/B008XVAUPI
"$59.95 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping."
(fulfillment by Amazon). Non-Amazon sellers best price is about $47.00
w/ shipping, so
http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=83T1943 ends up
slightly cheaper.
