20 out of 20

Today I received my 20 early model Pentium 4 heatsinks via USPS. Sure enough in the box there we 20 P4 heatsinks with mounting hardware and thermal paste (which I'll be replacing with Arctic Silver 5). Hopefully today I'll get the CPUs and retention brackets installed and the heatsinks clipped in. Unfortunately none of my three power supplies laying around have the newer 3.3V processor power connector so I'll have to purchase a cheap power supply to test the components. I'm not gonna buy an expensive 500W PSU because I ultimately plan on building my own DC-DC power supply for each of the five systems, this way I can greatly reduce power consumption and heat.
