So yesterday I put the hardware together on my lunch break... This morning, before leaving for work, I sanded the surface of the CPU heat sink, and mounted it to the CPU on the motherboard... Tomorrow I will begin installing KnoppMyth...
This project is one that I must do while my wife is not around. If I want to achieve a high WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) on the finished product, I must not allow this to take time away from her.
