Maybe you could wear latex gloves when applying the glue. I just bought a mobo and cpu. I was planning on doing everything myself with sighted supervision. From a practical point of view though, you probably don't need to know how to mount a cpu. You could buy a bare bones computer for about the same price that you can buy the parts seperately. I'm doing it just to do it. On the other hand, things like replacing RAM, cards, and hard drives come up often enough that it would be good to know how to do that. And those things aren't particularly difficult for blind people. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 10:14 PM Subject: Re: ot: the best online computer parts store? > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Fri, Sep 14, 2007 at 11:37:07AM +1000, Luke Yelavich wrote: >> You have to make sure the compound is evenly spread correctly for the >> type of CPU you are installing, >> otherwise heat issues can arrise. > > Also, I've been told that you definitely don't want to get even a bit > of the stuff on the mb components around the socket.
