I must confess that I took the easy route when I built mine.
David Ek gives a list of components, all available from Jameco in the USA. http://www.atmsite.org/contrib/Ek/dsc/build.html
One order and all the parts were sitting in front of me within a week or two.
I also got my S2 2048-B encoders from US Digital, as suggested by David. http://www.usdigital.com/

With the AU$ at it's present high against the US$, I would suggest that Jameco and US Digital might be the easiest way to go.

I've decided to try the Bluetooth option, and have an Aircable en route at the moment, to be paired up with a Palm Lifedrive sourced from ebay for $67!
I don't have a great deal of confidence in my abilities to get it all hooked up and going, but I'll never know if I don't have a go!
And I have no doubt that if I have problems somebody here at IIS will have the answer!

Cheers
Chris
