From what I understand, it's not that hard to modify PC hard drives to work, so if I ever kill the 20gigs... What differentiates the Arcade from Pro? As I have already painted over the rear label (since this is far beyond warranty now, I didn't care for the serial #).
Plus it's $45 bucks, so, meh.

Using two ideas/fixes. Using a heat gun and a griddle basically, to heat the board, GPU, CPU, south bridge hot enough to reflow all the solder connections. If I can get a clear enough understanding on how to use flux, I'll do that too which basically is like adding new solder on all the connections. Probably wire the fans to spin faster too to keep the tree-sity cool.

Gotta find a place to get some high grit sand paper and wet sand this sucker smooth. But the color looks awesome. Had I not done the primer this would have come out much nicer. Normally rustoleum ain't bad, but this time it was sorta powdery and such. No bueno.
