We don't yet know what the other components cost - the driver station breakout board is likely to cost around $30-40 as well. So even the upper limit of $2100 difference I've seen thrown around may be mitigated to some degree by the cost of the new components we'll be getting.

The cost of the driver station and wireless router were NOT included in the $2100 calculation, due to the anticipated replacement with the Classmate PC and related "stuff".
