Here is an oldie I just found on my hard-drive while searching for some specific code to copy-paste. One drowsy Sunday afternoon I decided my microcontroller needed some swag (or whatever it was called back then).

Here is the result:

It's an Attiny2313 sporting a custom polycarbonate IC socket with blue LED lighting, gold plated turned headers for programming, gold plated +5V and Gnd connections, a X2 100 nF decoupling capacitor rated up to 250V, Tuned pull-up with a multiturn variable resistor for the reset line and a silver pin 1 indicator notch. Overclocked with a 24,576 MHz crystal this bad boy could out-flop the atmegas, and even blink a Led.
