I have an older compaq P2/300 that I want to put a Celeron/400 into. But, it's a slot1 box that has a specialized totally passive Heatsink solution. Basically it looks like there is a plate between the CPU and the HS that makes up part of the case. I need to get that plate off of the 300 to see if I can attach it to my 400 Celery, so I can put the original HS back on.

Does anyone have any of the old web links on how to open up the Pentium 2 Slot 1 clamshells/cases??

Thanks.

Oh man, if they're anything like the Slot A's... Its not all that fun. I've had to do it to 2 of the Slot A's I've owned for the Orb I run on them. It just takes time..but it can be a pain in the butt. I know there are some links, I've been 2 a few..don't know or have them off hand tho. GL!
