I have a nice intel PIII chip that i think will work nice for this:) (5 stars and fav'd)

I found it virtually impossible to do this with a ceramic processor. any processor that isn't ceramic works perfect though.

I know, the processor on the left of the picture with all the materials is ceramic and when I tried to drill it I got nowhere

You need to use a carbide tipped drill bit for drilling into ceramics. Also, until the hole gets started.... the bits sometimes walk. solution is to stick a piece of masking tape on it before drilling. Use a variable speed drill(not a dremel, unless you have a speed controller) and drill slowly, with light pressure. Inside of 3 min, you should have a nice hole.

Early cpus(486/pentium 1 era) make very nice ornaments, especially if you uncap them.
