| It's hard to go wrong with free. Parts manufacturers are often more than happy to ship you, for no cost, a few samples of their merchandise.

| + | [[http://www.nxp.com/|NXP]] Formerly Philips Semiconductors, all kinds of logic, data, amp, discrete and uC stuff. While they *don't* generally offer sampling to individuals (they forward you to local distributors), they, from time to time, have sampling programs for new parts, i.e. browse through http://www.nxp.com/news/campaigns.html and try to find a campaign with "request free samples" option, e.g. Logic Portable Industrial (http://www.nxp.com/campaigns/portable-industrial/select-samples). | ||
