Congratulations to our lucky winners!

People’s Choice Winners

The three stories that earned the most votes by December 16th won our top prize: a new iPad 3, custom PCB case, and $25 iTunes giftcard.

First Place

“I took part in the contest because circuit boards are a big part of my life. As an electrical engineer, there are few things as satisfying as seeing and bringing to life something you've designed. For me, that's a circuit board.”

Second Place

“I've used Sunstone many times over the last 10 years for my PCB fabrication needs. I like that they are stateside and on the west coast. They have been quick and responsive and have not failed in meeting my PCB needs. I will continue to use them in the future!”

Third Place

“Sunstone's tools have helped me several times to design the PCB that I have needed. The number of component footprints that are available have covered almost all the parts that I have used, saving me valuable time to work on the design rather than building the footprints I need. The best part of it all is that the design tools are FREE!”

November

November 5 - "I work in engineering as a Design Technician and I supervise other techs. I work in Phoenix Arizona and live in Glendale Arizona. I voted because I am interested in what other people do with their PCB123 Designs." Patrick Purtill

December

“How great! Thank you so much. I am not an engineer. I work in the film and television industry in Los Angeles, CA. I voted because my cousin Steve Ranta is a fantastic engineer and I really believe in his story. He speaks highly of your products and I know he would only use the best.”
