A repository of all the hardware parts i've encountered, bought, and used. Listed by vendor, and mostly so that I can keep track of what is good out there. Maybe it'll help you too?

This used to be called part-fillers, but I think any user buying parts off of a big site should know what to add to pad out a cart.

As a general rule, I don't add bottom of the barrel stuff, but use discretion when ordering.

Feel free to contribute your own parts as well!

To start digging, click through to one of these distributors:

Tip: Distributors like Digikey/Mouser will accept each other's part numbers. This means you can enter a Mouser part number on the Digikey site and get the matching part back (if its stocked).

Some of the inspiration for this list has come from other sources. The following is thanks in general to these projects; you may be able to use parts found on this list to build some of these.
