Not sure if others have come across the "open source" PersonalPCR <http://www.personalpcr.com/pcr/home> design, but it uses the
same ideas you are all discussing here.  Some major drawbacks include poor documentation and improper release of design files,
such as the .pdf used for the all surface mount component control board.  I would be very interested in building these if others
are able to provide an eagle file for the board, as I have access to a fully outfitted Maker lab that would allow me to produce
these for ~$100/ea in components.  Honestly, if anyone comes up with a usable design along similar lines as this, I'd be
interested in helping out with production.

This design uses heavy metal blocks.  I am planning a vigorously stirred air PCR machine
that will sell for under $125 and have a parts cost of maybe $35 in 100's volume.  I can't see using Eagle
when KiCAD and gEDA are available and free open.  If interested, my timeline is 2nd half of 2015 for launching.
