    I think I'm considering the copper mod, but I'm a total n00b in this regards, lol

    I was trying to find the recommended Copper Sheet (Gauge 16 & Grade C106 - 14x14x1.5mm), or at least a place that can cut it for me (but not many of the online stores carry that grade and gauge).

    This is one of the few places I've found so far. It's in the UK (I'm in Florida):
    http://myworld.ebay.com/metaloffcuts/
    Product: 1.5mm Copper Shim 14mm x 14mm (for Dell M1330)

    Will this do it? Can I find it somewhere else?

    Thanks!


    PS. Well, at least I know I can buy the Artic Silver 5 at Radioshack! :eek:

    That's where I got mine. It was shipped very quickly to me in Canada.

    Pretty much everyone doing the mod - worldwide, including myself, have ordered from them. That will work fine.

    Though... now that my XPS has been sold, I have an extra piece (from them) laying around... PM me.

    For future reference C101 is better than C106, C101 has a higher thermal conductivity.
