Ok, finally its here! After spending half an hour getting the box open I was faced with all the parts, just as expected. Slight problem now though... There are no instructions at all so I am going to have to work out what plugs into what myself and even worse... I cant find a place to connect any power there are no mains leads or anything just yet another wire with connector on it.

Here is the first picture so far, I will update as I get it built. Sorry about the blurry corner in this one.

LOL there dead easy to wire up

Its all wired up now, just 1 wire left over have no idea where it goes as there are 3 extra connectors on the board... guess you can build up on it.

Now its down to the task of how on earth do I power it? Does a mains cable need to be wired into the power switcher or what?

Nah, will wait till my dad gets home. he knows all this stuff.

Looking at the power switcher it looks like a power supply can be attached. Hopefully I will have my first test tonight.

I get the impression that YOUR idea of cheap may very well not match up to MY idea of cheap
:) .....So.....what's the damage for a 10k setup ? (rough guestimate) I think it was outlined in other threads, but there have been so many outlined recently, it is hard to tell which is which !
