Something funky with resin would be cool

I've had that plan for a while for my Tbred chip! Also thinking of turning it into a keyring, but the ceramic would be a PIA to drill!

If anyone has anything, can they post here and PM me for my addy! thanks!

I'm trying to do this all in AMD, but may be interested in the Intels too at some point

I've got a skt A 2200 XP here, It worked last time I used it, but that was years ago and I'm pretty sure it's buggered now.

How about a TCT tile drill bit?

Those are usually pretty good at going through ceramics

Bit of masking tape over the top to give it something to bite against, and bob's your fathers brother

*Bump*

Hows this going Rai?

Not so good at the mo...

Missed out on a job lot of 50 AMD CPUs on Ebay so I'm keeping my eye out for them there...

I'm trying to keep it to AMD chips but any Intel are welcome too.

I've got an old xp1700 (palomino) and a xp2200 (which I think is dead) which are so out of date you can have them. I'll pop em in a jiffy bag and send them to you. Just need an address.

[tiggerai]

Brilliant... thanks.

I'm keeping an eye on ebay too

[tiggerai]

ok, just to update...

I've now got:
6x Athlon on the Brown package
6x Duron on the Purple Package
1x sempron on green.

If anyone else is on any other tech forums that might be able to help out it would be fab!

Thanks all (esp Rasta)

PM me your address pls I have a brown socket A duron with your name on it
I am making a trip to the post office tomorrow, so if you be quick you can have it sooner...

Any ideas of how to post a bare chip without it getting damaged? I don't have one of those plastic boxes for it. I might just sandwich it in some cardboard. with some sponge to protect the pins.

Er, I dont think with what Rai's got planned for them they'l be needed working

I just stuck them in a jiffy bag, and the bubble wrap fixed into that, seemed enough.

Thankyou for those who have sent me chips this week

I like getting parcels. Especially cute teeny weeny ones! (thanks SiM - cheered me up after a long day at work!)

I have what i believe is an AMD chip (Very old though, possibly a Duron)

Also have 3 Old intel chips if you ever require them. I'll spread the word to the guru3d uk members - The veterans there love a geeky project.

As a sidenote. Motherboards under a sheet of glass as a table would look quite awesome, if you either trim all the top off to make them equally level or flatten the top and use the bottom ^^

Will update with what i find and post for free. A few pounds postage is worth seeing this thing complete.

Still looking? During a tidy up I discovered an old P3 and an Athlon XP2500+ - they're yours if you want them.

[burble]

I think I have a 1400 t'bird and XP2200+ in the loft somewhere. Lemme know if you want them and I'll pass them onto your Mum next time I'm in the office.

[tiggerai]

Yes please to both of you!!

I'm still collecting, slowly... keeping my eye out on ebay and the like!

Thanks all!
