I love these kinds of projects, but after being burned by the PocketCHIP, who also said this but never made it there, this is isn't somewhere I want to go again.

Holy cow look at that silkscreen. Five-digit component numbers? Populating this board is like Where’s Waldo...

And the PCB has 10 layers! They must have had fun designing it.

Kinda does beg the question whether ten layers were really necessary, but I'm not a board designer.
