Just stumbled across your thread here, Your off to a good start. I have a AMD 9950 i'm looking to offload. I checked your motherboard specs and it list the 9950 but it list the 125w version (mine is 140w). So i don't know if mine will work in your system but you can probably email MSI if your interested in it and see if it will work or not. I'm selling it for $55 here:

Thanks for the offer but i think i'm gonna stick with 545.
Finally got somethin' to work on (DVD drive) and it went by so fast. Pics will be put up tomorrow.
Black printer cartridge on its way.
HP #96 Black Cartridge: $34 at Office Max; $19 on ebay. Wow, that's quite a difference.
Finally! It arrived yesterday and already in the printer. Now i just have to get the decal sheet and start some decal printing!
UPDATE!
Package arrived! When you have nothing else to do, waiting for something takes so long!
It was wrapped pretty well!
Two pics to show the progress i've made so far.
Also, printed out my decal today! I still have to clear coat the decal a couple times to make sure it doesn't bleed when i prepare to stick it on.
Lacquer that i used ate at the ink and it failed. :[
On the other hand, i got my CPU today!
Quick question, How do you take a cpu out of the socket? Because the cpu after i installed and locked it, it feels like it's stuck in the socket and i can't pull it off. I wasn't trying really hard because i don't want to damage it. I already made the rookie mistake and bent some pins but i use the credit card method and bent them back.
Chances are the bent pins, altho straightened are still a little bent so holding onto the holes a little. You remove a CPU exactly the same way as you install it, but in reverse. Remove the heatsink if installed, then lift the locking lever up. The cpu will then lift out - you might have to get a fingernail or something else under an edge - try to lift it from two opposite sides or corners at once - dont just pull up on one edge or corner...
Oh...mmk! I thought so, i was having a tiny freak out episode. Haha.
As for the decal - if you want to try again, try sticking the ink side to the case so you're putting clear onto plain plastic - the clear MAY eat into the plastic too, but you have a better chance than you do with putting the clear straight onto ink...
Yea, that would work. My dad has a gloss cote for that doesn't eat away at the ink on a decal sheet.
if you can get access to a colour laser printer, get some laser decal sheets, the method of using a laser make the ink cure so it won't be eaten by clear paint.
But if you do make sure you use transparancy settings so its really high quality and runs slower and hotter to cure the ink
