yeah so far I've done it all by hand, I was going to hot air some stuff but there are some things too close together and I'd end up messing up other components I've already got on. Its certainly an odd mix, being 50% SMD and 50% through hole. Some of the unobtainium parts are a pain, I sacrificed an A500+ motherboard to get some (crystal, DB23 connectors etc). The rest, I think I was lucky as nobody else at the time was buying up those parts (Amber IC, plenty of 2mb agnus around etc), now, good luck getting Ambers, and the correct Agnus are not as easy to find. Kipper reverse engineering the video hybrid was also good timing!
I have all the chips + connectors for the 060 and graphics card, the hardest to get was the 68030 double sided connector, but I lucked out on a Daystar IIcx accelerator adapter card that had one. These adapters are like hens teeth!

A 50mhz 030/8mb is going to be quite snappy for what I want to mess around with, I dont really have a massive urge to go 060.
