ok i have already signed up for a premium kit plus some extras, and I'm interested for one set of pcbs(2).
Can you kindly provide them to me?

Pay TeaBag and just put a note to send to me for distribution. Anyone else ordering from Tea that wants it to come by me and save shipping is more than welcome to do so.
I have a proposal for kit GB members. I can get the Fukushima MPC74 power resistors used in EUVL's F5X for half the price of current Mills selection. Two caveats. While they have a similar power rating, I do not believe they are recommended for PSU use. In this case I would recommend the Panasonics. I have seen little difference in using fancy resistors in my PSU applications. This would have added benefit of also reducing cost. Second issue. I know Tea-Bags boards will accept this type of resistor, but I am not sure about ToeCutters boards. Let me know. This would go along way to paying for extra set of PSU components not yet added to V3 price.
Personally I have no experience with the Fukushimas so I will trust your choice.
(I think we should decided value for money.)

I am posting the new Kit prices. The changes that you see are the result of different selections as well as updated pricing for less than original quantity quoted. I had hoped for 50 kits, but only have 25. The pricing is not significantly different, with only slight changes. Major difference is components added for dual mono supply for V3 which was missed in first go around. It sucks, but it is necessary, so not a lot i can do. There will be no standard kit and those who signed up can purchase the premium kit with exceptions in the Cap and power resistor areas. I will send out individual emails to all who have signed up with a more pointed explanation. THanks.

Read the explanation. For V3 you need two of the psu in the article. It just happens that the caps are the most expensive part. If you look at the kit price list you will see that you can go with Panasonics as analternative and this saves quite a bit of money. I tried to explain inPM sent toall potential buyers. Did you have a chance to check that.
yeah just now.
I didn't mean anything against you by it(my reaction)
I'll read it again (didn't notice I had pm previously) and check back with you.

I agree with using Fukushimas instead of Mills for source rexistors.
Now, if I get it right, the cost would be 171 euros if we use Panasonic caps and Panasonic resistors.
Right?

THe price to the right is the two versions with the alternative Panasonic parts. You can notate the GB sheet if you would like these parts. The panasonic caps are about half and the resistors are about 1/10th the price of the mills.
There are only 3 ppl (including me) that might need the 32+ upgrade on them. What s your feeling after discussing with people? (I am thinking of going stock too after all). Would it be a possibility to order 35V caps? Won t this reduce the cost significantly?
I'm adjusting my order and will edit the signup sheet.
My vote is for the lowest cost (Panasonic caps, panasonic resistors)

50V has alwys been the target value, chosen in order to give appropriate headroom. More than 32 volt rails would require even bigger caps, IMHO. Jus notate th GB about your choice. Almost everyone has replied.
Its not an upgrade. 50V is the value that has been priced in. Upgrade is 63V or above.

Unless you are gong to run more than 32V rails, larger than 50V caps are unnecessary. What is your intended rail voltage?
I'll stay ,<=32v, I'm thinking that if the price is affordable maybe I will experiment with higher voltage
