Sounds like a plan - I'm schlepping my comp with me when I go to visit my old man. I've got a ton of work to do. I guess I'll have to do that.
A friend of mine reminded me of something dumb he did. He went to remove his heatsink (god only knows) and yanked the processor right out of the slot. He goes to build a new one and botches the BIOS install. ASUS is sending him a new chip for him to solder on
