DAK in the US seems to have a perennial close out sale on X-10 stuff.
Typically less then 35% of the Canadian Rad Shack or Heath price. 

I bought two of the computer control modules a year back for about $55 Cdn.
At that time Heath wanted $90 for one!

Unfortunately I don't know if DAK still carries X-10, and if they do you
will have problems ordering from them. They have a policy of *NOT* selling
anything into Canada. I don't know why. They will however ship anywhere
within the US, so if you're near a border you might be able to get it
shipped to a friend or customs broker across the border.
