As if I didn't already have enough to do, I came across the Gyraf website and the prodigy-pro forum and started building a few pieces of studio gear. My recommendation to anybody who is interested in building stuff like this is to do ONE PROJECT AT A TIME. These designs are ancient, basically, and not going anywhere. Don't buy a billion boards and have them sitting around your garage. ROHS boards age quickly.
