That is a great looking machine. How do you think it will price against the makerbot? Also where are most of the electronic components coming from.

Makerbot? I hadn't even thought about makerbot. Their high price reflects their market dominance, not the value of the machine. On the other end of the scale, I can compete with Printrbot and still turn a profit. The components come in around the mid $500 range when all parts are bought retail. The actual sale price will be just as high as the market will bear, somewhere close to assembled Ord Bots.

As for electronics, it will use the new Azteeg X5 (mini) from Panucatt (I'm still waiting for them to ship their kickstarter batch so they can fill new orders.) The small, but powerful enough, NEMA 17s are from QU-BD (min v wheel guide systems have less drag than linear bearings) and the NEMA 14s are from Pololu. Heat bed is from Sainsmart.
