Nah, too poor right now. The new owners came through and layed off 50 of us. Guess I'll just have to be satisfied with a 1G t-bird @ 1200 for now.

I have seen it done online...looks kind of like micro-bodywork, filling and leveling the new pits and such. (does bondo conduct? :D )

actually... my attempt was really easy...
just make sure you have good eyes and good amount of transparent tape...
it was just a hassle to have to wait for each bridge to dry out before moving on to the next...
i do miss the old L1's where all you have to do is draw a pencil on it...
but still not too bad...

buy it unlocked

This is a copout, but you can buy them unlocked as well @ the overclockerzstore... My friend got an xp1600+ running at 1540, just like mine...
