What do you mean by "memory strap"? I have heard that they have a fsb wall around 400 to 500 depending.
My pc was originally a Gateway GT-5464 that my in-laws owned. They gave it to me when the power supply failed. The case was pretty beat up, so I transferred it to an E-machines case. I like the old case better, but this one is in good condition. I took some pics of the heatsink, but I had to do it while it was still installed. I don't have any more thermal paste, and I didn't want to take it out just to take a pic. You may get the idea of what it is, and maybe give me some insight on if it is worth it or not.

You will prbably need somebodies stock Core 2 Duo copper core heatsink, and lap it, then add fresh thermal paste. I could bundle a little steel wool with a mini tube of thermal paste for free with your motherboard your buying from me. So don't worry. ;)

Just remind me when its shipping time.:)

I better go, but I will be back tonight.

I am good on the drives.
I don't really care for stickers.
What is the fan controller for, other than controlling fans.
How much would you ask?

That new thermaltake is nice. But I prefer black cases for some reason. This is what I am stuck with right now.




Pardon the messy floor, I haven't vacuumed yet this week.

Also, if you have pics on what I need for the heatsink, it would be appreciated. What do you mean by lapping it?
