117 Pretty Sure! Not absolutely sure because i think there is stacked components on the board.

I draw the top overlay over the image given, 2 hours working! I'll post it if permitted by the judge...

Sounds kinda like what I did, although yours looks a lot neater than mine. I copied the picture into Photoshop and drew red lines on it for each component. I then went back and counted them, placing a black dot on each one as I counted to make sure that I counted each one only once. I think mine was prety close to yours, although much sloppier. Unfortunately, I did not save it since I didn't think I would need it again.

Took me close to 2 hours also. Worth it though to ge a better chance at winning. Before I did this I tried counting several times, but would loose track of which ones I had already counted.

My guess is 119.

Do the PCB and heatsink count as components (i.e. all the parts to make the G250)?

Thanks,

Ah,.. Any chance you might want to work at Geckodrive?:-)

I'm impressed by your logical method of solving the problem by constructing an innovative solution that quickly converges on the answer. It was so good I superimposed your thumbnail under the actual G250 artwork and it will show just how close you actually came after the contest is over.

Oh.. Thank you, I am flattered!

While doing that I can feel how good the designer is, the high orderliness of the design shows that. I believe that I've learn something just by drawing the overlay.

About working at Geckodrive, you are joking right?

Best Regards, Ichan.

PS: I put some questions for you on Geckodrive yahoo group yesterday, have you see it?

[mcan]

I think I count all the parts and my guess is 114.
