Applying Stabilant 22-A to the mobo...

Hi Rick

I ALWAYS use a syringe to apply Stabilant... it allows precise positioning and good flow control. Once you get the feel of the syringe, you avoid slopping it everywhere but where you want it - and you're not wasting it needlessly (soaking a paper towel is JUST WRONG !!).

I have built a number of PCs over the years, and as a matter of reliability, I always treat the CPU and RAM at assembly time. For CPU, ensure the mobo is horizontal (let gravity do the work) and run a bead of fluid all around the socket holes - it will sink into the holes and contact the pins when you seat the CPU. Don't be afraid of excessive Stabilant - it won't harm the surfaces - it will evaporate. For RAM modules, I run a bead along the contacts (both sides) before inserting the stick into the mobo socket. Simple and easy to do (BTW, always beware of static charges when handling these parts - just a general warning to the DIY gang - who already know this !)

Regarding the D.W. speakers... I had the pleasure of auditioning a pair in my system many years ago - quite remarkable sound and clever engineering. The owner decided he didn't want to sell them after all, so the had to leave. Too bad.

Having had a few conversations with Mike Wright, I feel confident in any claims he makes about his products - this man knows what he's talking about. Should you Rick (or any un-convinced nay-sayers) feel the need to ask questions, I think a call to their office would be rewarded with the answers you seek.

Hope this helps...
