I made a CPU keychain with my delidding failure

So I finally got around to making a keychain out of a CPU I failed at delidding (Pentium 4 was the one used) after seeing some other people make CPU keychains, and finding myself with new keys and nothing interesting on them.

 

(Pictures were taken with my phone this time around so they aren't that great)

I like the outcome. I like it being delidded so its just the metal, and the fact that there is silicon still soldered on to the IHS makes it that much more interesting. Might end up coating the silicon in something as its got a small crack in the center that could eventually grow and make it not look as good. Maybe ill put on the Q6600 too but I would definitely need to coat the silicon in something (epoxy?) to avoid large amounts of chipping.

 

Any ideas for other interesting computer stuff to put on it? Nothing big (entire stick of ram) or really heavy.

Well i guess that's the good thing about trying to open soldered CPUs. 

 

They can make nice keychains.

I learned a lot about CPUs, and got a sweet keychain, its a win-win.
