Yes! I also was surprised by the "made in England". That is a rare thing 
nowadays. Now everything is "made in china" (the computer microphone is 
made in china of course) or "made in Taiwan". Decades without seeing a 
"made in Spain" frase, hi,hi... Good college days... I am 39 now.

Plastic box was expensive, around 5 euros. The same price as de 
microphone. I think there are cheaper computer microphones out there, 
but I liked the mic arm very much.

PTT placement in the box is not optimal, I should have placed it on the 
top of the box, but there was nos room for that.

-Computer microphone: 		5 eur
-Box:						5 eur
-Mic connector:				4.5 eur
-Cable:						1 eur
-PTT switch:						1.2 eur
- Green switch:						1 eur
- RED switch:						0.85 eur
-Yellow switch:						0.75 eu

Total: 19.3 eur
							

See you on the air.
