I found it! Thanks to the "List of MODDING site" thread. Here's what I was talking about.

Oops, sorry about that, it has 3.6 ns RAM @ 250MHz. According to what I read, the "Built by ATI" cards have a core voltage of 1.75 and the ones made by Sapphire Tech and others run at 1.65. That could be different now, I don't know. I'll find out as soon as the card arrives by sticking my...

I was planning on clamping it after applying a thin layer of AS TA. The clamp will put more force on it than the retail HS does. After the AS dries it should have a better contact than stock (after all, it has the crappy thermal goop that came from the factory). I might be able to mount on...

Well, considering that a neighbors Gayway Celly 300MHz had a passive HS on it, you should be able to put a larger HS without a fan on your P166. Just make sure you have some air moving through the case.

Just go to www.deathstar-mainframe.com. The mobo is a MSI K7D Master. I know he used to have a Tyan mobo with two Athlon T-bird 1.4s @ 2.0GHz (At least 1.9 completely stable).

Not starting a AMD vs Intel debate here, but I'll take two Athlon MPs over two Pee4 Xeons. Go here to check out a member of my forum's specs (ignore the fact that it's in a rack, you can get the same results without the rack). He has two Athlon MP2200+ OC'ed to 2025 MHz. I'd rather get two...

I wasn't planning on using an attachment mechanism, just attaching it with Arctic Silver thermal adhesive. It's not like anyone (myself included) will ever want to take it off. My concern with being able to put it on there without it hitting anything. If not then I'll have to get a Slot 1 HS. :(

Thanks. I already found that, Bit-Tech was the first place I checked. I guess I'll just have to do without that article... That's okay because the hardest part is cutting the acrylic straight and smooth, I can firgure out how to attach it myself.

I just ordered a Radeon 8500 LE (the 250MHz/200MHz one, not the 230/200 LELE), and I plan on slapping one of these on it and scrounging up a few more mini heatsinks for the RAM (I have four, need four more). What I want to know is how high can I OC it before I need to up the voltage. Since...

I just ordered two of THESE and was wondering if it would fit a PII 266. I would probably just slap it on with Arctic Silver thermal adhesive, and put some HSs from an old monitor on the cache chips, but do you think it will fit without hitting anything? I'll have the PII in a day or so, and...

What do you do about the lead in the underwear though? I'll take my chances with EMI (In fact, I'm making a case with acrylic panels, so I'm not that concerned). So what bad and nasty things does EMI do? Is it better or worse than a poorly shielded microwave oven?

Umm, I'm not doing a window here. I'm making new panels out of acrylic. As in the old one peice metal panel is in the closet never to be used again. The front, top, and sides will be made out of clear acrylic, and there was an article where someone did just that, so I'd like to go over it...

A few months ago I found an article where someone put clear acrylic panels on a regular metal case. Having recently aquired an old gayway full tower (ugly, nicotine stained, rusty, dirty, and not to mention smelly), I decided to replace the one-peice sides/top panel and the ugly plastic front...

Remember that, depending on your connect speed, your upstream is going to be about 28-33K. This could handle less then ten people at once, but it will be really slow. If you can get cable or DSL, do so! Make sure your upstream wil be at least 180K. You should just get a free host and either...

Go with a Sparkle 400W. PC Power & Cooling is a good choice also if you have enough money. (Antec is fine to)
