a successful switched power supply!!!
hurah!!! i just finished my first switching power supply! :) my circuit design was simple enough that i etched the circuit board myself and, after fixing the usual amount of bugs for any program that hasn't been tested yet, i got 165Vdc out of the board! (designing the board and writing the firmware took me about a week, and assembly took about two days!) the entire supply runs at 37.5khz and the mosfet is cool to the touch, so i'd say this is a huge success.
of course, crappy cellphone pictures:

do you think the filter capacitor is big enough? :P
