This is cheap!
Compare with the STK 500 development kit is 1161 SEK (elfa.se)
(or 99$ from http://microcontrollershop.com)
Which actually also is good bang for the buck, since
it is a good kit, and cheap compared with other dev kits

One way to make it even cheaper is by using the
ATtiny13v at 21 SEK, and then you only need
5 LED (it has 5 (+1) io pins only) which brings
down the total cost to 236 SEK! which is only 20%
of the STK 500.

And now you have a Solderless Breadboard, so you can add
more far from standard ;-) components to your AVR projects.
(Like a table-flamethrower or a Teslacoil).
