The only thing worth doing, is the thing worth doing right!

I got the idea for the heat sink for the TCD1304dg chip from @esben rossel he recently had a post where he showed how he cut a piece of aluminum block to act as a heat sink for the TCD1304 chip. That got me thinking, and so I formed my own aluminum heat sink out of aluminum industrial tape and will post the procedure also in my build files.

Also I found the perfect heat sinks for the AD7667 (ADC) chip, these little 15 x 15mm aluminum heat sinks are used in a kit for the Xbox 360, for the RAM chips inside, it cools them between 10-12 deg F. Perrrrrrfect :)
