This isn&#8217;t much more than the price of a normal small box of waffles, so I got the large one. I figure they&#8217;ll make good breakfast and snack foods for the next while.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/g4cube_geforce2\/DCP_1017\">time in the freezer<\/a>. This went smoothly, and with the help of a razor blade and some starter fluid (mmm&#8230;ether) I got most of the epoxy residue off of the chips and heatsinks. Next came the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/g4cube_geforce2\/DCP_1018\">mixing of the Arctic Silver epoxy<\/a>. This was applied to the chips, and the heatsinks were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/g4cube_geforce2\/DCP_1019\">clamped tightly in place<\/a>. After a bit of time during which my friend Eric and I putzed around with a message board at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefest.org\">thefest.org<\/a>, I removed the clamps and happily, the heatsinks are now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/g4cube_geforce2\/DCP_1020\">properly in place<\/a>. Woo! The cube is back up and running, being happy as ever. I&#8217;m really happy to have it back. Also, I returned the crappy Kensington keyboard I had purchased and picked up one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/store.apple.com\/1-800-MY-APPLE\/WebObjects\/AppleStore.woa\/70202\/wo\/0gEgFBEgQxly26dZ0gZ1mT0B9r0\/1.3.0.5.8\">new Apple keyboards<\/a> to go with the cube. Wow, what a difference&#8230; It&#8217;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. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so I see everyone is curious about the waffles&#8230; Well, here&#8217;s some more pictures for you.
