[[ as to returning lots of stuff, yes, the local MicroCenter (Cambridge) is
great about returns - their only request has been that you return as many
of the parts of an item as possible, and of course I always strive for
perfection in that, thinking about how I would like it if I bought one of
my returns and an important part, like an IO shield, was missing.  Scored a
new Newpoint UPS there yesterday - $30 on closeout I guess - 800 VA / 400
watts (I use about 120 watts) - has USB conector so I can retire my old
Belkin which had serial connector and I couldn't get the serial port on the
DFI to work. ]]

That's really nice.  Wish there was one of them around here.

Around last September, I finally decided to get a UPS (1000 VA
CyberPower) after the power went out about three times within a few
minutes that day.  Since that time, we had perfect power until finally
it went out for 3 hours last week.  It was really odd to be working on
the computer when everything else is dead and it's dark, except for the
monitor.  I took my time, finished what I was doing and shut the
computer down normally.  It's definitely worth having one.

No, just kidding about the boring part.  After the system is done and
stable, you get to run the apps you made the computer for.  The first
time I tried to install the Intel heatsink, I almost broke it.  I didn't
quite understand how they worked.  Now that I've removed it and
installed a larger heatsink, it's obvious and extremely easy to use.

Intel CPUs have on-CPU-die temperature sensors, so there is no thermistor
'under the CPU socket' on motherboards for Intel CPUs.

And yes, butter does work as a thermal paste (I tested unsalted Land 'o
Lakes 98% butterfat.)  Butter is runny at CPU temperatures, attracts bugs,
and goes rancid, but otherwise is about as good as Arctic Silver or any
other thermal paste.  Just as Arctic Silver is about as good as any other
thermal paste, Radio Shack zinc oxide loaded silicone grease, for example.
