Seeing CPUShack isnt around at the moment.. trying to work out best way to approach this
If there was some special chips soldered onto a board what would you prefer to do
guessing boards are between 1 - 2 lb
A) get whole board shipped from the US
B) pay to have them shipped within US to someone who can desolder them, then ship to you
C) wait till CPUShack gets back, then ship boards to him to desolder.. and ship with your avicc items
D) some thing i havent thought of _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world:

As these are coated boards.. I find removing the coating off the chips before desoldering them gives better results
but does take some more work _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world:

I have desoldered several boards from Group buys in the past and I'd consider volunteering if I had more details of the parts to be de-soldered.  _________________ My collection list (growing) http://johnorun.x86-guide.com/en/collection.html |

How difficult is to desolder those with proper tools?

for best results on PGA chips.. small blow torch the best, rather than heat gun
I generally heat up.. then tap excess solder out
then repeat till no more solder comes loose
the tricky part is making a tool to pull the chip out straight and that wont damage the ceramic
These have a added complication of being coated boards & chips
Some of these boards do have the extra chip.. so something to practice on
If people wanted to try this at home.. I was going to write out a step by step procedure
and things to watch out for _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world:

I should have a blow torch somewhere. I'll practice on the second chip.

just get solder so it just molten
also.. you will have to apply torch from underneath, other wise solder can run up pins towards the ceramic
the reason for tapping solder out first, is that when you do go to pull chip out..
you dont end up with solder daggs hanging off the pins (lot harder to remove once chip is pulled)
depends on how of a perfectionist you are in how you want the pins to look
I'm at one end of the scale.. and CPUShack is at the other end
using a small blow torch, things do get hotter quicker so keep the flame moving
if any caps near where you are applying the heat.. then wear glasses just in case one goes off
as for tool to remove the chip.. I use tongs like the 3rd & 4th set across
The 3rd is for smaller or easy ones.. the 4th is great for PGA with 200+ pins
They have a wide grip and I have bent some differently depending on what size chip I am pulling
and I replace the insulating fabric with some thin cork sheeting _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world:

if I can make a tool to make the job easier & quicker.. I do
having a full workshop here at work does make it easier to manufacture an array of tools _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world:
