Sounds like fun but don't put something like that into a project you might actually use someday.
For fun today, I picked up some PCBs that were lying around at the local surplus store for a dollar each. Some of them actually had decent parts on them - SRAM, FLASH memories, a 68K ROMless controller, some big inductors, Maxim RS232 chips, etc. I just desoldered my new used parts. That's what I do for fun, I guess. You overclock. We are having fun on the cheap! Better idea than drugs!
