I finished overclocking my block erupters.  Pretty easy to do if you have the right tools.

The fans were taken off an old CPU and converted to USD.  Added a 1N4148 diode to them to prevent a usb surge/short.

Each erupter is now running at round 447mhz instead of 333.  Not a huge change but it was fun putting it together.

Credit for the work goes to a bitcointalk member named Pugano and his amazing tutorial.

Still need more, not fast enough.  erupters are out of the question now, way over priced on ebay.

I guess next step will be the fury line.  I'm sure they will be overclockable as well.

I'll have to disagree with you there.  For a new user I'd say bitminter.com's java client is the easiest thing to run.

Not a huge change? You got 30+% improvement from 333 to 447.
By the way, mhz and mh/s are two different things lol.
