I too have been considering it and not tell anyone because its a little

Building flipchips in a package like this seems doable:

Complexity among the flip chips vary though. A couple R111 could
probably share the same circuit board, while an R151 probably needs more
space:

For me, time and skill is a limitation. But I'd follow such a project
very closely.

Who was the one with the wacky idea of building a
Straight-Eight PDP8
using flipchip cards populated with surface-mount parts? I have a
hankering to run some numbers about it.
I had been considering it, but I
don't think I ever told anybody about
it. Either I did and forgot, you're a mind-reader, or somebody else had
the same idea.
