Just to note, the contest does mention specifically:
Here's some things that have been done before and aren't going to score very high unless it's exceptional work:

Looks like you also messed with R1 for overclocking?

If you're an electronics geek by now, have a look at the LED and how it's being driven.  Funky.

Long since retired I had dozens of these running 24/7 for a few months, Overclocked with sidehacks kits.
Time to bring it (or possibly another) out of retirement! Details soon Smiley

I'm not expecting to even place but someones gotta get the ball rolling. Grin

Bad heat sink placement and amateur soldering skills led to this ones death. Its the only one that died early. I guess I kept him for nostalgia's sake. all the others worked until I sold them on ebay long ago. I over clocked some blades too, those were the days.

I remember reading something about that funky LED driver, it got to be over my head.

I cant imagine why anyone would mine bitcoins with these anymore, do tell. Wink
