 For residents in Europe, European based Conrad may be a better choice than the US based Digikey. This will save, in most countries (?) quite some shipping costs (and the environmental damage that goes with shipping over long distances).

-   * The following list is based on an order placed with the **Dutch site** of Conrad, but a short experiment it seems that it is the same for any Conrad site after you **omit the '- 89' suffix**.+   * The following list is based on an order placed with the **Dutch site** of Conrad, but after a short (and thus inconclusive) experiment it seems that it is the same for any Conrad site after you **omit the '- 89' suffix**.
    * WARNING: the Atmel ATmega168 controller is only available in the tiny TQFP (and not DIP) format from Conrad, this requires a steady hand during soldering, and an adapter if you want to mount it on a universal PCB ((on youtube there are some fine instruction video's of how to do it)).    * WARNING: the Atmel ATmega168 controller is only available in the tiny TQFP (and not DIP) format from Conrad, this requires a steady hand during soldering, and an adapter if you want to mount it on a universal PCB ((on youtube there are some fine instruction video's of how to do it)).
