escrap questions

My buyer has never given me a hard time about leaving too much of anything on. My understanding of taking off excess plastic and metal would be the stuff that houses the heat sink and CPU. I think if it can removed easily with a couple screws, remove it. As far as the smallerheat sinks and such, I leave it all on. The more weight the better for me.

actually looking back, i think it says 2.1AT there, might be worth a quick check on ebay for sold listings, just do a search within ebay search box for quantum fireball (+model number), then when you get the list of results, on the left side you should find (they keep moving it around, and even hiding it, but it should be there somewhere) "completed listings only", then when you get to completed listings check out the ones in green (they're the ones that sold)
