Keyrings

small drill , big keyring.... 🙂

I have a 486 on a keyring, it LOOKS like a CPU damn it, not these silly, huge green things Intel sells nowadays:)

that thing is tough, though... people are breaking their cores left and right these days with their heatsinks, don't know how, 'cause it took me 15-20 minutes with my drill to make a 0.3cm hole through the darn thing:)
 
Unless I'm missing something:

1. Drill hole.
2. Put on keyring.

:-D

I'd revise that to:
0) take the pins/soldered legs off
1) drill hole
2) put on keyring

otherwise, it's gonna be one big ouchie all day long:)
 
I have an old 286 chip and now finally know what to do with it. I don't think it has pins though.

now that I'm looking at it, it's kind of small and all covered in gold, I'd really hate to mess it up. It says intel 1982 on it, yet it has the AMD symbol on it. it's a r80286-8/c2h model. If that means anything to you, it does to me though.

Of course I am gonna keep the pins. I use to have an AGP card on my keyring, ouchies to the bastard who tried picking my pocket when I had that there :)
 
Yeah, I just scavenged about 6 486 chips from a "computer junkyard", and made one of them (the one that was all messed up and pins bent like hell) into a keychain. Pretty cool
 
I thought about wallpapering my case with them, seems like it would be quiter too! As for the 8MHz 286, well now there's some REAL POWER. I had a memory expansion card for that with 8MB of the old, what was it, 16 pin memory? I think the individual chips were 16kb each. Threw it out last year, it wouldn't sell, wounder why?
 
I'm thinking of sticking it on a ruler and using it as a backscratcher instead 😉
 
>>SetiMaster?!!

Yes you have the honour of my presence:) A title bestowed upon me by the elusive Fredi, I guess because I'm leading Tom's forum team in completing Seti units.

I used to have an AMD 486/80, great little chip faster than the Intel 486/66 and cheaper too. But I went with the P60 for grooming because it's a little larger, and one of the cats has pretty long hair.
 
I once killed a spider with a 20meg drive from a 8086. How many people can claim that hugh?
