got in the CPU cooler was dirty and oxidated so used some hydrochloric acid to take care of both (let it clean it out for roughly an hour), oxidation is gone however the dirt/gunk is still in there, guess I will flush it out as soon as I get my fittings and rad later this week.

I'm no fan of Wifi but I always loved the funny and creative SSID's people used. I was wondering if anyone here had any good ones they seen to share? Best ones I seen lately was "Hillary's old email server" and it was an open network. That and "I love lamp". I also seen "Your Wifi is hot" And "Pick …

I found an old laptop of mine in the closet here recently and had the idea to put a fresh copy of Win98SE on it. The USB drive doesn't work. The CD drive does work for file transfer, but I don't have any cd-rws. I do, however, have an ethernet cable. How do I go about setting it up so I can copy …

Its ok. I'd want a 440bx board. But that's just me. Also note the max hdd size. 137gb. Probably not a problem, but just putting it out there.

They are rather interesting, But sadly you can only use two of them in a system. If you have one of those ALR quad or 6 socket systems you can only use two overdrives. ASCI Red, once the fastest system in the world used pentium II overdrives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCI_Red

sk8 overdrives have the L2 running at full speed. But than again you could just get a Pii450 and have a much better system with AGP and SDram. But I rather have the overdrive, if the rice is right.

How is recapping stupid? Caps fail and its better to change them before they fail and cause more damage. If the caps are known duds just change them before you put the system together and have to pull it all apart to recap and fix possibility even more. As for recapping something that works fine. …

Takes me about 10 minutes to do most boards with a butane iron, no pump/sucker or solder wire. Just heat up the leads and pull the cap out. Apply sone flux and put the new cap in, add extra solder if needed and clip the leads. Giving how much of this kind of work I do I always have caps laying …
