Soldering parts for GTC & USB to I-Opener numbers from Digikey??

Hi,
Well, Ok I have one of these fella's, and it looks kinda cooler than I expected... I'm about to order from digikey for a header, and would like confirmation on which header works best (part number)... but was also thinking of one or two other side projects (it appears digikey charges $5 for small orders).

I have a few I-Openers which would benefit from a 2nd USB connector... I know badflash sells kits, but didn't these come from digikey? Does anyone have the complete digikey order list for installing usb adapters into an I-Opener?

Thirdly it appears several posts have mentioned using a single transister in an I-Opener serial port to get a GPS running... I was wondering if anyone had tried it and which transistor was used (in lieu of the serial board mod) connecting directly to an I-Opener phone jack.

It appears about time to order some stuff and to spend a night or two soldering... I'm just trying to get whatever odds and ends are needed together for a large enough order to avoid the $5 surcharge from digikey.

Thanks for your help

WM18176-ND for the bronze pin header $ 9.95
S2208-22-ND for the gold plated header $ 4.27

(Go figure, gold plated one is cheaper ?)

On my first order I ordered 2mm 10pin IDC plugs for the VGA and 44pin ones to make my own drive cables (bought the more expensive low profile ones made by 3M I believe, can't rember the part number).
