The PS3 has finally been hacked, but why buy a modchip when you can make your own?
I've decided to make a board with the ATMEGA32U2 chip, because it's cheap and compatible with the popular Teensy 1.0 board, so I don't have to compile my own firmware. :P
It's my second homemade PCB, but my first double-sided one and with a TQFP chip!
I can't believe I've managed to solder all of that by hand.
The ATMEGA32U2 is a bit problematic in that you have to edit avr-gcc and avrdude config files to compile the LUFA bootloader and program it on the chip properly, but it's nothing serious.

Big thanks to all the people behind PSGroove and other PS3 hacks, and to Dean Camera for his awesome LUFA stack!
