this pico is nicely modded.

I have 2 pico's on hand
I have 1 psu on hand
I have 1 breakout board on hand.
I have pcie cables on order from sidekick
I have a breakout board on order from holybitcoins.
I will be ordering a new psu from sidehack if he has a blue plug plat one.

not sure if flminer is doing cables or psu's or breakout boards.

But his picos are my favorite design so far.

I will be doing some other things  with his pico's very soon just need to be sure it works.  before I show them here.
