Only when you have lots of dead motherboards then you can do a wall.

I just saw this come across my video feed. Seems like an interesting project.

Cool project. I have some epoxy in the shop I might be able to use for something like that. Big epoxy pours are indeed tricky. Epoxy can smell your fear.

I may actually do this on a table I have in the shed. Though I'll probably do smaller sections. I still have tons of old dead hardware from the early/mid 2000's sitting in computers I use for spares. Could be a nice way to de-clutter and pretty/nerd up the house.

I don't know how familiar you are with epoxy, but if you're going to do a project involving a big epoxy pour, then you might want to check out John Malecki's channel on youtube. He does a lot of epoxy projects, and has a few videos specifically about tips for large epoxy pours.

Here's a recent one, which has some good stuff in it.

I'll be doing smaller pours. I have a lot of old small boards ripped from HDDs, small low end GPU's pulled from OEM parts computers and the like. I figured dotting the table with them to keep each epoxy section small would make it much easier to do.

Training ground for bad capacitor replacement on a multilayer board.

Great idea! Not particularly creative, but at least it is educational.

But the board has to work after you 'train'.
