So we need to order 10 chips from your friend that will be forwarded to you, and you make the hardware than ship to us, the customer ? Smiley

Exactly, 10 chips per module.

Will you provide some kind of PSU at cost or at least some recommended models? Is there an easier way to power these boards that are stacked besides having one PSU for every board?

For a single module a 2.5A 12V wallwart will suffice.
Power Stacking will possible through high current screw terminals or 6Pin VGA Bridge cables (not decided yet).
That way 3-4 Modules could be powered through one 6 Pin VGA Connector.
The design will allow the possibility that multiple boards can be mounted on a single heat sink like in the Avalon units.

would you have a rough cost on how much the pcb themselves would cost each?

About 15eur each, still subject to change since board design is not final either.
We're missing pinout and other information that will be released in may.
I will put out a 3d Preview of the PCB next week.
