I opened up an old 486 some time ago, and recently just got a decent picture of it. Enjoy

I tried an old P166 once but I ended up cracking the die... I've tried a few others but either nothing was really visable, or I broke it in the end.
But thanks I keep this think around with me. If it was more sturdy and didn't have the pins, I'd use it like a key chain

i plan on majoring in this stuff
Microelectronic Engineering.
but first 2 years at a community college under engineering science, to save money. $25000 a year for the school i wanted!
i got accepted but im not paying $100,000 for college... so the cheaper $50,000 will do just fine.
haha

Take a dremel and just go around the metal plate. I'm not sure how some of the newer processors will work, but these older ones are very easy to get into...
