You might be able to build it under $1500, but I was responding more 
to the comment about there being a market for items like this.  When 
I started with the Altair kit I thought it would have a sale price of $499.

I couldn't even sell an empty case for that.  : )  All of those 703 
(hand counted and packed per kit!  : (  ) individual parts in the 
Altair 8800 are cheap...alone.  : )
