Anyone ever turn a CPU into a keychain?

[SwiftWind]

I have a Dead athlon XP 2400. I always hear about people turning their dead cpus into keychains...any guides out there? or more simple : how do you get the pins off in a clean way, and take care of the sharp edges of the cpu to make it more..."pocket friendly"?

A Pentium is on my keychain, thanks to a dremel

 

[Frew]

Yes... Their is a guide somewhere. One sec

Edit:Here is it is http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/cpu_keychain_guide.php

The only thing nerdier than a cpu on a keychain is a graphics chip on a keychain. :laugh:

 

[Qwest]

do you really need a guide for this?
drill a fvcking whole in the thing.
insert ring.

Might wanna bend the pins in, unless you want an involuntary skin graph everytime you happen to land on your keys......

I think the metal plate off the top of AMD-K6/K6-2 would be perfect!!!!

Try a cobalt bit maybe? They're made for high-strength metals and all hardware stores should carry them.

This hobby will be so much easier once the LGA775 cpus start getting old and busted...

haha, cool but too big. I have a bunch of those old ram chips from the 386 days. they are even smaller.

Well I hate to throw away computer parts...so I either give them away for spare parts (pins, caps, batteries, whatever) or keep them for myself until I find good use (i.e. keychain)

 

[episodic]

Get a dremmel to grind the pins off.

Dead P200 on my keychain. Well, dead now.

Used snips to cut off all the pins. Then drilled a hole in one corner.
