Okay, so I see everyone is curious about the waffles… Well, here’s some more pictures for you. There are lots more waffles than one might imagine:

Here’s the deal… Costco has large boxes of Eggo waffles for somewhere around $6. This isn’t much more than the price of a normal small box of waffles, so I got the large one. I figure they’ll make good breakfast and snack foods for the next while.

Tonight I got the cube back together for what is hopefully the last time. First off, I managed to pop the heatsinks off of the GeForce 2 MX after it’s time in the freezer. This went smoothly, and with the help of a razor blade and some starter fluid (mmm…ether) I got most of the epoxy residue off of the chips and heatsinks. Next came the mixing of the Arctic Silver epoxy. This was applied to the chips, and the heatsinks were clamped tightly in place. After a bit of time during which my friend Eric and I putzed around with a message board at thefest.org, I removed the clamps and happily, the heatsinks are now properly in place. Woo! The cube is back up and running, being happy as ever. I’m really happy to have it back. Also, I returned the crappy Kensington keyboard I had purchased and picked up one of the new Apple keyboards to go with the cube. Wow, what a difference… It’s so tiny, too. The board is literally only the size of the keys themselves. It fits very nicely right in front of my monitor. Woo! Finally a (completely) working Apple. I hope. ;)
