first, to console gamers. Any of you out there still addicted to old school SNES/N64 etc games, but the game malfunctions a lot?
I've got some good news.

The usual problem is that the connectors are just getting corroded. Cleanin em with alcohol can only do so much, but there IS a fix. You need polishing grit.

http://www.easypckits.com sells packets of 10,000 grit polishing compound (ie, theres like 10000 grains of "sand" per sq. cm!!!!) for $0.25 each plus $1 shipping. Each packet has enough stuff to clean the conectors on well over 15 games.

All you do, is get a Q-tip, wet it down, squeeze most of the water out, and dip it into the compound. Then, rub away at those connectors. Be sure to rotate the Q-tip, as it will remove a LOT of crud. Afterwards, be sure to go over the connectors with the clean side of the Q tip to remove the remainin compound.



Now, for you PC enthusiasts. Into overclocking, but need better cooling?
For like $10, you can make yer heatsink perform a LOT (ie, 5+ deg. Celsius) better

Http://www.easypckits.com mainly sells heatsink lapping kits. They are VERY effective, and maximize the connection between heatsink and processor by removing microscopic ridges and valleys, and by flattening the heatsink. Plus, it makes the heatsink shiny XD


Anywho, what about the service, you may ask...

The seller is VERY helpful, and fast. In terms of speed, he responds to emails within a day, and ships super fast. I bought a kit one day, and 2 days later, it showed up (from alabama to virginia via USPS).

I paid $4 shipping, and the US postage on the package was $3.96....he isnt makin more than pennies on shipping.

He goes out of his way to make you satisfied, and I GOTTA recommend this guy.



Any thoughts? post away

PS--if you dont buy from him, youre banned :biggrin:
