Turns out I was just being timid. Yeah, you have to press down on that lever pretty hard. But I did get an experienced, sighted person to make sure everything was correct before I did it. I just wasn't brave enough to try it on my own. I didn't want to have to explain to my wife that I was going to have to spend another 100 bucks on a mobo or cpu. And like you, it took me a while to figure out that the heat sync was pre-glued. I touched it before I figured it out. That's kind of bad but what can you do? The machine is still working a year later and I do not think I've turned it off that whole time. So if you touched that sticky part on the heat sync, I wouldn't worry about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob" To: "Speakup" Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 9:07 AM Subject: First build > Hi all, > > I know several of you build your own systems.
