I'll just have to see how much use I really get out of this one. What really drove the price up on what I had purchased was the ethernet shield. Damn thing cost 1.5x the Arduino itself.
I got some more parts out of 2 early 2000's cameras. Buttons, caps, resistors, diodes, 4xAA retainer, etc. Got a ~1.5" LCD out of one, but can't find any information on it at all, so doesn't look like it would be as easy (if possible to use) as a nokia screen. Have a couple old Samsung cell phones too, but doubt I could get the screens going.
