    Cutting up cases

    I use a quality jigsaw to cut anything in my case. Put two layers of painters tape, layout your cut. If anything cut a little shy of your mark, then take a file to clean it up.

    Stock Voltage Overclocking

    I believe theres a happy medium, but hell, if at 1.5v my processor would hit 4ghz I'd do it. If your an enthusiast and looking for performance, its worth the risk of shortening the lifespan on your processor. Computer parts depreciate so fast, you might as well get the most out of them while...

    Antec 300

    Thermal paste reuse

    Use a coffee filter and wipe the grease off. I've never used any thermal grease cleaner at all, never had it affect temps. If you leave it as is your not going to get good contact with the cpu, plus you'll have air bubbles.
