anyone in the UK offering this as a service ?
i know ill just screw up if i try this by myself.
How many do you have? I was thinking about giving it a go but I've only got 7 sticks so with the cost of buying equipment and parts it doesn't really make sense, the only suppliers I can find here in UK sell crystals and resisters in bulk. It looks relatively easy to do....... but I haven't actually tried it yet so that's easy to say!!
This might help... http://uk.farnell.com/txc/7c-16-000mba-t/osc-16-000mhz-3-3v-smd-5-0x3-2/dp/1842022

Thanks. This post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241652.msg2662693#msg2662693 said there was a minimum £20 order, although I can't find that on the site. Then I'm looking at about £60 for the hot air, solder pump, solder and flux. So I just thought for 7 sticks it's not worth it. But I do really want to give it a go (I'm a geek) so I might just waste my money for the fun of it. I'm undecided so I'm opening o bottle of wine to think it over.
