So I am trying to run a 771 CPU in a 775 board and I need one of these little sticker things to do it. Does anyone know what it is or where I could find one?

Does anyone know where OP got the little sticker thing he used? I am trying to use tin foil, but I am failing at it and I don't want to screw my mother board up by bridging the two on accident...

Pretty cool concept. The demo looks great and to my surprise plays well on my 8800GT and E7300. Add some fast all wheel drive cars/trucks and it could be a lot of fun!

I got my E5420 today, but the XS forums seem to be down so I can't find the picture on how to lay out the Alu foil

Around $230 each

CPU - $130-140 Mobo - $80-90 Ram - $55-60 SSD - $60-65 HDD - $50 H100 - $60-70

I ran a 355 with a 35x top in my loop with 2 GTX 480's, a CPU block and 3 rads and it was great. I always ran it around 3,000rpm using my fan controller and never noticed it getting hot, so I doubt a heatsink is necessary. On your case,...

I bet you could get at least $1,800 for it considering the older models still go for $1,100.

I just grabbed a X5420 for my rig, quad core with 12M cache for $22, sign me up!

This makes me want to build an ITX system really bad... I'll be watching this build
