i have a full working Prusa i2:
http://reprap.org/wiki/Prusa_Mendel_(iteration_2)
that is an improvement of the Mendel.

I'm also building a Prusa Air v2:
http://reprap.org/wiki/Air_2
that is quite similar to the i2, and a Prusa i3:
http://reprap.org/wiki/I3

This last one is the simpler to build and to calibrate.
All the boms are available on the reprap site.
Anyway, all the pieces are easly available on a diy shop or on ebay :)

There are also a lot of new online stores that sell specifically 3d
printer parts (electronics, extruders, bearings, pulleys, rods and so
on).
