More Power!!!!!!!

I've trying to drill some ventilation holes in my Power Tower casing and I swear the things made of Titanium or something, it's killed several drill bits. I'm going to go to a hire shop and see if they have any Carbon Lasers for hire as I think that's the only thing that's going to cut through that thing.

Looks like you may have saved yourself a few quid by doing the work yourself.

Well done young Jedi.

All I need to do now is sort out the Ventilation issue and things should be working fine. From what I've read on other sites the 300Mhz solution will be by changing the multiplier to x5 which doesn't always work with PPC software although it may work with OS4. If anyone out there does try what I've done Then you need to be brave/foolhardy/stupid, have a low wattage soldering iron and a steady hand as one slip can bugger the board completely. Oh and another issue that is not talked about on the site i got the instructions is if you use double sided SIMMS in the memory socket that lies flat to the board your memory could develop problems due to the extra heat. Solution is better ventilation or use the angled slot (I'm down to 128MB RAM till I get the ventilation sorted).

All attempts at making Ventilation Holes in the Power Tower case have failed (My room is littered with dead and dying drill bits). However I've spent the afternoon modifying the 486 heatsink I bought. Before I had the new heatsink over the black lump that came with it. I now have the 486 heatsink clipped onto the board and PPC chip and all overheating problems seem to be solved for now. I'll se ehow it runs over the next couple of weeks before I think about boosting again.
