Best use for a dead chip!

[Big_Baller]

Anyone have any good uses for a dead, fryed,or crushed cpu? I recenlty crushed my XP 1800 (OUCH) on accident so I drilled a hole in it and now its hanging from my rear view mirror on a small string.

Good idea. I've got a Pentium Pro keychain. :D

Best use for an Intel chip *LoL* j/k

Use it as a practice unlocker, so that when you unlock your chip for real you dont mess up.

If it's dead how would you be able to tell if you unlocked it right? I mean, you wouldn't be able to tell if it would boot, coz if its dead, no matter what i doubt it would boot, and i doubt you could tell the multi's if it cant boot ;-)


If i ever got me ear pierced, and if processors were lighter, it'd make a prety ghetto earring :D :)

dremel it in to a keyvhain. Wow, a pentium pro keychain? those suckers are heavy.

I have a Duron 1ghz and a pentium III 500 (slot A) to make in to a keychain. The only problem is that both of them still work :( But nobody will want to buy them and I have no use for them.

Yeah it is. It's a 100MHz POS that I killed just for s*its and giggles

I think jewelry is the best option for fried electronics.....I would love to use an old ceramic athlon for a keychain or a necklace or something.

Do a project with it. Go pick up some acrylic and buy a frame for it and then put it on your keys as a keychain. It'll look nice however bring back bad memories :eek:

[Big_Baller]

ya that woulda been cool to make an acrylic frame out it but already drilled it and it would look strange perhaps. Next chip I blow Ill do that.

I cooked a coupple cpu's and am currently using one as a key chain as a reminder. Know when the limit has been pushed and take more discression the next time you are handling the goods. :D

Your right, but I can say from experience, its hard to join those bridges without the stuff bleeding through the tape. It would be a good idea to practice to get the method perfected.:)

A 1.0 Duron and 2 sticks of ram hang from my rearview.
