If you look at the additional hardware list under the "Control System" section, it lists "Custom Circuit Board". This tells me I can print and etch a PCB without including the cost in the $100 limit.
The manual says "Electronic Components Up to $100 worth from Future FAI or
Digi-Key" then at a different line, it says "Custom Circuit Board must fit inside Plastic Enclosure for Custom
Circuit Board (see below), qty 1"

Express PCB http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Costs.htm can do the PCB for as little as $59 incl. shipping (for a 3.8" x 2.5" board). However, I do not think the PCB cost is included in the $100 limit nor do you have to buy it from FAI or Digi-Key. BTW, they also give you software to design the circuit
