Ideas's for a dead processor?

[RandomFool]

So i think i killed my athlon 1800, it's got a little nick in the top of it right near where the heat sink connects. It happened when the heatsink clip snapped off. My computer was intermittently posting with it for awhile and now it posts one of of every 30th try. I popped a duron 650 in there and it works just hunky dory. any idea's what i can do with it now?

Cut a small hole into the corner and turn it into a key chain!

Make it into a badge and wear it.
Or make it into a nailbed for your hamsters.

Will make a great tombstone for the hamster after it lays on the nail bed..

try taking off the packaging and getting at the silicon die?
maybe i'm wierd, but i find those neat to look at.

Combine everything above and make it into a nailbed for your hamster. Place the hamster on the nailbed then proceed to smash the processor with the hammer



...wait. That sounds pretty demented. On second thought, I wouldn't suggest doing that at all.

I made a plaque of all my dead (and not dead) processors starting from a V20 chip all the way to a dead P4 chip and every chip in between. Looks really cool going from a really tiny chip and seeing the size progresssion then seeing them get smaller again with the P4. The Intel pentium Pro is the largest chip die and the P2 and P3 are the largest boards that have the die and cache. Looks pretty cool. Start a chip plaque.

I threw my fried Thunderbird 1.33 on a cement floor until it shattered into itty bitty pieces, all the while screaming: "WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?".

Sell it on Anandtech FS/FT, like everyone else?

 

[CraigRT]

since it posts, I'd try to sell it, someone might be able to get it to work

 

[edmundoab]

try to sell it. You might get some money rather then 0 if its thrown away
