    Nice video, got a few suggestions though:
    - edit in some close-up pictures, e.g. highlighting the screws (I think Shane did this as well), showing the pad at the back and how far you need to remove it etc.
    - talk more about other options besides the cleaning stuff you used, i.e. isopropyl alcohol, acetone etc.
    - explain why you're doing what you're doing; I've been doing this kind of stuff for ~8 years now, but I've never used a coffee filter, do you use it because it's lint free? I usually use paper towels and then a lint-free lens cleaning cloth...
    I agree on some points Nickle, but this isn't a watercooling 101 class. Be nice to have one. Skinnee does the deep work and I'd rather him focus on the test than why he uses GOO GONE to pre wipe a CPU for TIM application. We all know that, or ones watching the vid really should know before they get to this level.

    And he's very economical with that coffee filter, but doing this all the time, costs add up, even coffee filters!

    I have paper towel bits scattered everywhere, and depending on my mood, the same with coffee filters.
