Information for this parts list was gathered from Stuart Bell's CC Compendium and the CC Forum, while also drawing on my own experience. Information on performing the modification is available at Stuart's site, so please visit it for questions about how to perform the modification.

Parts List (incomplete)

Description	Supplier	Part Number	Quantity	Total Cost (USD)
multicolour, 30-conductor IDC cabling	Digi-Key	R007-1-ND	30 cm (1 foot)	$1.05
"630" wiring harness	another Macintosh (1)	??	1	n/a
HD connector cable	Digi-Key	(2)	30 cm (1 foot)	(2)

3.3V Power Supply Parts List (incomplete)

Description	Supplier	Part Number	Quantity	Total Cost (USD)
3.3V regulator	Digi-Key	??	1	$2
10uF capacitor	Digi-Key	??	2	n/a
miniature PC board	Radio Shack	276-148	1	$1.49
TO-220 heatsink	Digi-Key	??	1	$2

Notes

NOTE 1: Source the harness from a 63x, 58x, 5xxx, 62/63/64/65xx series machine. 63x/640-series Macs are most common and least expensive, though the others will work fine as well.
NOTE 2: HD connector will need to be extended (replaced). Whether you use SCSI or IDE is up to you. Either will work, but the SCSI requires a 50-conductor IDC cable and IDE requires a 40-conductor cable.
x400-series logic boards require the 3.3V regulator circuit.
x500-series boards may or may not require the regulator; if it boots without it, you don't need it.
