Well, I'm planning on framing the CPU of my very first PC. That thing was a beast.

I've seen someone doing a similar repurposing, I think he used it as a necklace. I like the idea of wall-mounting old GPU / Motherboard though.

So if i strap my old FX 8320 to my wall, it will be a 8-core wall... DAMN...

 

Wonder how well my wall would overclock...

Shove some copper heatpipes in the wall and who knows. The possibilities are endless.

and Pentium 4- right

Pentium D isn't single core, it's the very first dual core from Intel. The successor to the Pentium 4. I see you got the 2nd gen Pentium D 945. I have the 820.

It just says Pentium 4 and the ghz. 

wait theres some tiny kinda code thingy here, odd for a cpu name but. 1M/800/04A i know the 04 stands for 2004 as thats the date code after the intel name as well but a google search of the code doesnt really bring up much.
