Comments from our industry judges:
- I thought it was a very elegant design, lots of thought was put into the thermal aspects, and extracting the heat away from some of the hotter components.
- It had a very good stack, a lot of thought has gone into the design of the stack in terms of managing the EMC, and also the heat sinking for all of the heat.
- Just overall a very good design
