Clean x0x

Was looking around on the x0xb0x forum and it looks like even though there are more kits comming soon for the x0xb0x that the waitlist is about a year, so decided to have a look at self sourcing the parts.

Downloaded the x0xb0x BOM parts list and had a look over it, can get just about all the non rare parts from Mouser in the US on a single order and found a guy selling rare parts kits on Ladyadas forum for $96us including postage. Guy is in Oz, I ordered one so hopefully that will arrive quite quickly.

The parts kits for the MB6152 dont seem to have a date on them so I will probably end up getting the x0xb0x finished before the MB6152 :)
Can get the PCB and panels from adafruit and already have a pactec pt-10 so shouldnt be difficult to get my hands on all the parts.
In the meantime, just waiting on my order to arrive from SmashTV so I can get started on the simple Midibox.
