)
2) Precision tweezers - 0 SGD (got it from someone. alternatively,

or

)
3) One set of multi screwdrivers - 0 SGD (found it in house)
Components
1) 16MHz crystal - 4.91 SGD (

) I bought 3 of this
2) 1.2k resistor - 0.007 SGD (

) I bought 100 of this
3) soldering paste - 39.09 SGD (

)
4) soldering flux - 7.97 SGD (

)
Total spent for accessories (one time cost) = 97.06 SGD
Total spent for upgrade 3 miners = 14.75 SGD
Now 3 of my miners are running @ 440MH/s +
To buy
1) Heat sink - 1.29 SGD (

) After overclocking, the heat is really untouchable if you do not have active air flow. This heat sink looks like it's a clipon
2) Helping hands - 8.33 SGD (

) Really helps when doing heating...
