Okay, here we go. These are the best parts that I found from before after numerous hours of searching.

-Regulator - "Simple Switcher" 5v 3amp
-Inductor - 47uH, 3amps

-Input capacitor (probably overrated, but the bigger, the better) - 50V 470uF
-Output capacitor - 16v 330uF
-Diode - 40v 5amp
Cost not inluding shipping/handling for these parts:
$7.56. Not too expensive! But then you will have to add ~$15 more for shipping/handling. I realize that it isn't very conveniant to order from 2 different sites, but they are just where I found the optimal parts.

These are not the only options for parts, as one could choose smaller (in size) parts that would work, but I tend to like to be conservative when it comes to these things.
