Hello all... as this is my first post (pause for applause ) I'll try to keep it short.
I just ventured into the world of AMD... and overclocking... and to be honest, am getting a little excited about it. I just purchased 2 AMD 1700+ XP chips... and using the rear window defogger repair kit... turned them into AMD 1700+ MP's!!!! Now this was my first mod with a computer ever... and it really suprised me how much information you all have to share... as fars as what bridges to jump/fill in....etc...etc...
So here is where I stand.... the 2 AMD's that I bought came with the factory heatsinks ( which I already found out are a little under powered )... and for me to buy 2 slk-800's... I'd be spending over $100... so I went out to SEARS and bought a mini fridge... the kind that fit nicely in dorm rooms. I can't post an image of it yet... as I'm still a new member here... but I suppose if I gave you the model number... you could go to sears.com and look it up...
Sears Item #04691171000
Mfr. Model #91171
It's a Kenmore 1.7 cu ft fridge.... I figure I'd mount the motherboard in the icecube tray... boar holes in the door for DVD & CD/RW drives... not sure where it'd be safe to boar holes for power cords/mouse/usb cables... but open for any suggestions. Guess this wasn't as short of a post as I hoped for... thanks for listening =)

PS: you can all blame Mr B for turning me onto this place ;-) thanks dude
