Hey fellow Czech person :) Can't offer an AIO kit but if you'd be willing to get all of the components yourself, I can put together a list of distributors/auctions I used for my build. Would you be interested in that?

I don't know the price of the components altogether but I think I'm just above 5000 CZK (200 USD) right now while a colleague of mine who's skipping the entire cartridge reader bit is at around 4500 CZK (180 USD) last time we checked.

Edit: actually compiled the list just now, it includes links to Czech distributors and some notes that Czechs might find hopefully useful. You can get the price further down by getting rid of the cartridge part and by not using Adafruit components, but I wanted to have a build as close to wermy's as possible. Finally, as noted in the list, I might have a 3.5" display for sale soon, maybe.

The display listed in my spreadsheet can be actually modified to run on 5V by the manufacturer itself! When you purchase things on Alibaba, you have to directly communicate with the seller/manufacturer. During this communication, I asked the manufacturer to modify the display for 5V voltage for me and they did just that.

Good luck! Just bear in mind you can't order Helder's AIO board at the moment, and if I were you, I'd keep a very close look at that thread I linked in AIO's notes. You will want to know when the sale of the boards start because they usually sell out really, really fast.
