Done and done. I put AS5 on both the SB and NB. The thermal paste they had on there was like hard tooth paste. I put the fan on the NB, and then put heatpipe/heatsinks back on the motherboard.

Right now I'm waiting for my hard drive to format to 300GB. I'm actually installing windows Vista 32bit, since I can't find my Windows XP Pro disc right now.

I'm going to play some god of war 2.

On a darker note, my 37" Sharp TV has no "replacement parts at this time". $@(&*$#@ $#@*&*!@ SHARP!!! Arg...you spend $1000 on a TV and it arrives DOA, and then the parts at NOT in stock at Sharp to fix it.
