What do you do if you have lots of spare processors and CDs? How about a chess table?

Two sides are lined with 486 cpus. On the first photo of the completed table, in the middle of the side closest to the camera is what looks like a 486 overdrive, but it does not look like any known overdrive chip.

The overdrives are just the aluminum plate from the top of the OD heatsink that has been removed and placed on a normal chip

Agreed- They are neither centered or facing the same direction.

I kinda like the top of the table. The table stand of CD's is not so good. That is a little 1990's AOL style.

Dont you mean ugly? Very Happy But yeah, the tabletop is nice. I wonder if it's flat, with a layer of something over it?
