Looking for inexpensive 5V Mod

Regarding building a 5v mod, what all do you need? I'd rather not buy the 5v box mod kit from Mad Vapes, just because I like finding cases around the house I can use, but I'm interested in building one.
Oh, I should clarify a couple things. Yes, I can solder well enough. I am familiar with building a 3.7v mod. I just don't know what I need for reducing the voltage from a pair 3.7v's to 5v. And why the heck isn't there just a dang 5v battery?

What is your question then? Everything in that kit minus the box. He lists the parts.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was posting quickly while at work and I had a fit of stupid. I was thinking that some of the parts were for a LED, but I don't really need a LED so I was thinking I didn't need everything listed.
Anyhow, yeah, just a quick fit of stupid. I'm good now. Thank you.
np. I just didn't know what else to answer. BTW, I like the LED so I get feedback... but that's me. He sells the LED's with resistors.
I like the song named after you, BTW.

Mad Vapes sells just the parts also, so you do not have to buy a kit.

Boris, 5 Volt NIMH Battery for The Mako Maksi You would need the special charger for it, also sold there.
Problem with just a 5v battery is that the voltage will sag. You will probably only get 5v for a very short period of time. The regulated 5v and vv boxes will give you a steady 5v until the batteries just can't do it.
What about using a booster? Could use a 3.7v, or even a 5v battery with a booster circuit to get 5v, right? How steady and/or reliable is that? Any other problems associated with it?
