Step 5Wear it!
After everything has cooled down and that your CPU is firmly attached to your buckle, but the buckle on a belt, and you're ready to go.
Wear at CS class and awe-strike all your class mates. Pimp it out in front of the ladies, and get loads of hot dates (or not). Although most will remain dumbfounded on the nature of that hunk of ceramic that is stuck to your belt, you can be sure that they will at least agree on one thing: it's hawt!
That was it... simple eh? I can't give a date yet, but I'll try to get tinkering on the same concept for slot 1 processors, for those who like uber huge belt ornaments.
If you like my work, check out my blog, http://MaximeRousseau.com and grab a feed or something, or hell even blog about it yourself.
Track-back link for this project is http://maximerousseau.com/?p=54, for those interested.
I also invite you to leave comments and suggestions; this is my first Instructable, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I was going to make this point as well. I am glad someone got it out long ago. I never use leaded solder on anything, I even use the friendlier flux.

I did this, but with a couple of modifications. 1. Instead of bending the pins, I used a file and ground them off. Took a bit more elbow grease, but I was able to get a better surface on the reverse. 2. Instead of solder I used household 100% silicone adhesive manufactured by DAP. Waterproof and not as likely to damage teh grey matter. I think (it was a while ago) that I used the file and scuffed up the front of the belt buckle a bit so the adhesive would have a rough surface to grab onto. I made mine over 4 years ago, and the adhesive has held fast all along. And the ceramic material my i486 was encased in is surprisingly resilient. I've made a few very small scratches over the years, but it's still clearly an intel i486 DX 33. In fact, the buckle has outlasted the original belt!
