Seems strange to pay $12 for 3 switches when the whole board kit can be had for $24.

I'm using 1/4 W resistors. I got normally open SPST switches. I can't remember how much they were off the top of my head. For my perfboard, transistors, switches, quick disconnects, etc...it was a little over $20 or so. I made out with the whole project for around $60-70 for everything. Granted, I had a soldering iron and some solder left, but that shouldn't be too big a deal.
