Welcome to the forums. I have an 1800, and will be using the superglue/pen process in a week or so. I'm waiting on my 1900 to get here in case I screw up ;)
I'll giv ya a BUMP though, I know lots of peeps around here have done it.

thank for the heads up. i guess by the amount of replies that no one has found the lacquer.i got on toms hardware forum and their were guys on that one looking for it also. no replies to it either. i guess i will get the pen and find out

I used white-out instead of the glue in tom's hardware's movie.
And i used pencil instead of silver laqure.

It works!
but I didn't change the mulitplier.

I unlocked mine a few days ago. Used epoxy and a circuitwriter trace pen. I didn't get it until the 3rd try....the 1st 2 tries actually made the xp1800+ think it could only get to 1466mhz instaed of stock 1533....I would wipe it off with acetone and then see if I broke it but it'd be right back at 1533. I finally got it unlocked and got it up to 1975 I think it was, but it wasn't very stable. The tape trick works...the one on the main page under tips&techniques. Tape easily isolates the bridges and pits both for gluing and closing. When I'd pull the tape off it'd take a little trace compound with it.

Finally what I did was use tape to mask horizontally, then make a blob of trace goop over all the bridges. Using the L3s as a guide I'd estimate where the breaks should be between the bridges and cut them with an exacto knife. Not as clean looking but it was easier for me.

This thing is FAST now!! (was before but now more, I mean....yeah)

Hey thanks....problem is, working on it is addictive. 1st I'm like "well maybe a peltier with an air cooled HS" and now it's "water cooling? hmmm..."

This is a killer hobby though.

Is ghost recon any good?

[Luie]

it's an first person shooter game.
I like fps so i think it's good.
and also i think the graphics is cool as well.

it's quite similar to Rainbow Six.
