I remember finding OpenPCR too expensive for a student project, and I ended up designing and building a cruder/cheaper alternative for that project: http://2013.igem.org/Team:Paris_Saclay/PS-PCR/detailed_descr...

Nice work! Your BOM looks similar to OpenPCR's. One fundamental advantage of these smaller PCR machines over traditional designs was running fewer samples (i.e. 16 vs 32+), which translates to less fabrication, less peltier devices, and less sensing/cooling, among other things.
