sorry if my topic was a bit brief but i am wondering where I could get these parts(especially the buttons!!) and how much it would cost me oh and by the way i have never done soldering before so i don't have the necessary tools so please if you choose to replay take that into consideration.Thanks in advance :D

Check here for a parts lists, and where you can get most of them http://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title=MintyPi . Most parts can be found on ebay/amazon/adafruit/other local stores near you (depends where you live I guess).

As for tools, you'll need to buy a soldering iron, it's nice to have some solder wick, solder sucker, tweezers are also helpful too (You can often buy soldering iron kits with all those items). Helping hands are nice too (hold the items you are soldering so you don't have to). You'll also likely need basic tools, screw drivers, files, drill bits, (maybe a dremel too).

Cost with buying tools can vary. But probably $200+?

I'm sure you can eventually buy one. Once people start finishing them you'll see them up for sale. There are also a few giveaway going on too.

Click here for giveaway info, wermy is giving one away and so is Lphillimore.

I plan to build a few(finished one, just waiting on a speaker) I'll keep one and sell the rest likely.
