When I re-install the processor into the motherboard , and the heatsink to the processor, I've been...

I posted a couple of weeks ago that my new motherboard bundle was running very hot, though was stable. Essentially it was running at 65-70 deg C with just web usage. After trying numerous things suggested, I took it back to the vendor. They tested it and said it seemed OK, though OK to them was...

Somebody here posted a URL to a site that has a great selection of colored cases and even colored laptops. I believe they also have keyboards and mice in colors that match the cases. One of the cases interested me, but not enough at the time to save the URL. Now I can't stop thinking about that...
