:cardbus module (yet to purchase)

:$152

I found this on e-bay for about $30, so look around... you shouldn't have
to spend $150 on it.

:Display: Micro-optical SV3

I would suggest taking a twiddler before the SV3 (though I lust for this
display). Try the M1 RS170 from tekgear. It hangs on the front of a pair
of glasses. It may be monochrome, 320x240, but you save a lot of money (I
think its $650).  Of course if you're willing to work with a little
hardware, the rs170 kit is even cheaper (and ultimately more covert).

:Storage: As much flash as I can afford (probably 512mb). I will mostly run
:off of this because a HD is too fragile. What happens the first time I
:have to run while I am wearing it?
:

I have no experience with compact flash, but they are reported to have
limited writes, which would be a problem for running a microdrive as your
primary disk.

:I do however have a 30G laptop drive that I will use on special occasions
:when I need more storage.
:
Laptop harddrives may be more durable then you think... and how often will
you run wearing your wearable?

:got it for $26 off ebay
These are really cool.... I want one :)

Just my two cents...
