It does actually, You can see the parts list at the top of the blog.

The total from the parts list is $28.24. That’s without taxes or shipping. There’s also items on the list missing pricing entirely. That also doesn’t include the cost of selling your identity to the CCP, considering last time I tried to place an order on Ali, they wouldn’t send it without government ID.

It also doesn’t include a battery, which you’re going to need an excessively-sized one, considering how relatively-inefficient ESP is.

It doesn’t include your time assembling all this stuff either.

It doesn’t even include a case for your janky setup.
