Notes: Images are large, 56kers beware. Also, this WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. I am not responsible for any damages this causes you. I'm doing this on an E2200, but this should probably work on the rest of the E2xxx and E4xxx processors too, no promises though, and again, I'm not responsible for any damages these mods may cause.
I recently purchased the E2200 and ECS 945GCT-M combo, and have been looking to BSEL and voltmod it for some time. I finally finished the mod, but I haven't tested it yet. We'll see whether it works on Friday.
Materials:
Rubbing Alcohol
PVC Electric Tape
Pentium Dual Core Processor (DUH)
Toothpick(s)
Q-Tip(s)
Permatex Complete Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit (Get at any auto parts store, <$10)
First, you'll need to tape off the points that you need to connect with the paint. I myself am doing a BSEL mod to 1066 fsb and a 1.55volt Mod. You can find diagrams for what pins to connect for a voltage mod here:

When deciding what volt mod to use (if even necessary), you should try to do the least voltage increase possible. Don't just jump straight up to the high voltage mods (you shouldn't jump straight to 1.55v. Try smaller volt mods first, or see if one is even necessary). They'll make your CPU run hot, as well as lower its lifespan.
To do the 1.55v mod and BSEL 1066 mod, that meant doing the following:

So, I isolated the points using the PVC Electric Tape. Isolating the points on the CPU isn't as easy as you might think. If you're not careful with this, it will be very easy for the defogger paint to leak underneath the tape and onto other pads, forcing you to do the mod again. When cutting the tape, DO NOT stretch it, as that makes it far less sticky. Also, if you've been working with the defogger paint, make sure none of it is on your fingers. If it is, and you touch the adhesive side of the electric tape, the copper WILL stick to the tape, and it may get onto your CPU. Also, I recommend you do not overlap pieces of tape if you can avoid it. Here's what my CPU looked like when I was done putting tape on it.

After doing that, take the bottle labeled "Quick Grid Repair Compound" out of the Defogger kit box. Shake it well, and then open it up, and dip your toothpick in and scrape the sides to get the solid mixed well. Close the bottle and shake it again, and open it up and dip the toothpick in the compound. Take any excess liquid off of the toothpick using a sheet of paper laid out, or just tap it against the bottle.
Then, CAREFULLY, draw the circuit between the points on the CPU that need to be connected. It's kind of like making little dots and forming a circuit out of it. Be careful not to get a whole bunch of compound onto the CPU, because then you're going to have a mess on your hands, and you'll have to clean the CPU with alcohol.
If you're an idiot like me, you'll mess this up a few times before you finally get it right. So, be prepared to break out the rubbing alcohol and q-tips. Just dip the q-tips in alcohol and rub 'em against the CPU to get the compound off. It shouldn't be that difficult.
Once the circuit you drew has dried (should only take a few minutes), take the tape off of the CPU, and check that the compound hasn't gotten on any other pads. I took a toothpick and picked away some excess compound that was on the sides of the circuit (is this okay to do?). This is what it looked like when I was done:

Also, you should test the circuits using a multimeter/multitester to make sure that they're actually good. I tested mine, and they appear to be fine.
I personally might give another shot at this, since I'm not positive that this is as good as I want it to be.
Thanks
