Still waiting for the parts though.
I have 8 68060 cpus in my desk at work. I'd love to make this work on my carrera card in my iici cuz reasons.
Nope, takes longer than ordering the PCBs and parts separately. The card itself is consciously designed so that any person with at least moderate soldering skills can build oneself.

Sure, I have actually the same opionion about PCBs as Steve: they also should be nice to look at.
(Yes, I have read those stories)Currently fighting with CUDA, cobbling together sources from the Super Mario Rom, and Linux....
AND, I also might have something else for you guys ready some time, as I am just about beginning to get warm.

Even before I knew of them, though, I've made an effort to neatly run cabling in PCs I've assembled over the years mainly for three reasons: so they look nice, are easy to work on, and have good airflow so they stay cool.
Even though nobody will see it, it makes me feel good somehow (one exception: I actually took a PC I built to the local computer shop back in 2008 or so when I was doubting my abilities (I was experiencing a very difficult crashing problem that I was hoping they could help me solve; a couple years later, I learned it was due to an unseemly combination of a particularly bad power source and a defective piece of hardware), and the technicians there were quite impressed with how neat and tidy it was).

Man, I’m the polar opposite of this mentality, although I respect people who pride themselves in this sort of thing. My cable management is non-existent, my recapping jobs look like a toddler did them with uncut leads, etc, and I always take the quick and dirty approach. My reasoning is, if it does the same job but takes half the time, who cares what it looks like if I’m the only one that sees it?
I get crap from my co-workers for it, but my response is always the same: I’m results oriented.

It doesn't really matter how you run the cables, so long as everything works as intended when you're done.
