No need to put everything in the same forum!
Here are some that have been done already:
I'll be doing a few, feel free to contribute yourself!

Looks awesome! Is this for making schematics?

I've gone right ahead and done the N64 mobo with every capacitor, resistor, and IC. All the ICs have the correct number of pins and everything. I have labels on the caps and crystals, but not the resistors or ICs. Someone want to lend some names?
A few final touches and I'll post it sometime tomorrow morning.

I don't see anything. What are you talking about?
EDIT:
Annnnnd, here's the N64 board. I can change it if someone has ideas.
Adding it to the first post too.

Can someone provide the text on the ICs? I'm working off of a picture that isn't quite the resolution I would like.

Crystals aren't yellow and the RDRAM chips only have 4 pins going to VCC on the bottom

Okay, I'll change it. Did you make the lower crystal bigger on purpose?

Forgot to finish drawing that one
Edit as you wish. The chip text is 98% accurate though. There was also half of the chip next to the reset button that got left behind, I erased it. It matches the PCB on my desk right now. This should be the same for revisions 01-05.

Good?
I don't know why, but the crystals looked coppery in the picture. The picture had the heatsink still on, so I assumed that the RAM was symmetrical, thanks for the fix. Is there anything else that you think I should put into the drawing? I kinda picked out the things that looked important, but I don't really know anything. I'm hoping to use this to make a direct-to-board cart relocation guide, are there any pictures that show where I need to mark connections? I can trace some... traces... if otherwise. Are all of the connections on the top of the board? I don't want to draw the bottom, it's so complicated.
