So I have an APM 1280, but no Oil Pan.  I got it as part of a trade thinking I'd be able to use it sooner than I can.  Purchasing the Full APM kit just makes more sense than buying all that stuff separately.  

So with that said... If I don't have an oilpan for this board, what other cool stuff can I do with it?  Are there projects that will work with this board and no oilpan already out there?  

Thanks in advance.
