good call on the 6800 gpu raduque, thats a good size.

my guess is ceramic.

It's ceramic, and a BITCH to drill. I broke 3 dead CPUs before I gave up and used a dead 6800's chip for my keychain.

Edit: pardon my crappy cellphone pic. Seem to have misplaced my digicam.

ooohhhh, shiny. I want it!

Out of all the processor keychains I've seen, the better ones have the entire chip cast in resin and a hole put in the resin.... that way everything can stay intact. And you don't cut your hand or anything when you reach in to your pocket.

Have you tried a masonry bit?

Why would you want something that big and pointy in your pocket?
