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

I used 1/8 watt resistors for my first guino (for my Celebrity), I read somewhere in this thread that 1/8 watt would be fine. So anything bigger would be fine too. I used 1/4 watt for the new guino (for my van) because thats what Radioshack had.
Those Radioshack tactile switches are $3.99 for a pack of 4. Thats what I used for my first guino about a month ago. Also from Radioshack, the zener diodes needed come in a pack of 2. And the transistor needed comes in a pack of 15.
For a cheap source, Ive used Futurlec. Only thing is the parts come from the other side of the world so it takes a couple weeks, but the prices are dirt cheap and shipping was $4 no matter what, and I never had any problems with their parts.
