Bloody right I am...... :-)

Yeah I know about CPU pins when I was a techie for Acer(back in 1997/98 during school holidays) I remember seeing some really messed up CPUs.

I remember one customers machien had car oil all over the motherboard. The customer said the CPU fan was making a noise and thought it needed some oil. Lets just say a new PC was ordered.

The corparate customers where even worse RAM was always missing from the machines and the odd HDD removed as well.

Customer: Why wont my machine start up
Tech Support: Errrr. Your harddrive is missing?

Kodak moment when you tell them that. They really start wondering how RAM/HDD go missing.

I've not done a build in years so a bit nervous yet excited on getting back in the saddle.
