Nice job. Love the gallery especially the smoked hardware. Most of all I really appreciate whoever took the time to write the troubleshooting page. There's a level of detail there that is superb.
"Much, much more. 100+ USD just for one bare PCB to be made" Not so sure about this. I can get 10 PCBs for $99 from http://imall.iteadstudio.com/open-pcb/pcb-prototyping/im120418009.html (yes, I've used them a lot, they make nice boards).
Just had to embed this image here - "Pushed beyond limit

Anyone know what it took to blow the regulator?
I'm contemplating piggybacking a 12A 1.2v regulator onto the boards for additional power once I get them depending on what I can get the OC to with stock regulator.
