I am from Kolkata, India, and would appreciate very much if someone
could please tell me where to procure the following items in

Kolkata:

1. Thermal compound/glue for use between processor and heat sink.

Computer supply store.



2. Isopropyl alcohol.

Pharmacy/Drug Store


Thanks in advance.





Are you sure my friend that you reside in Kolkata? The reason for
asking this question is that either you are not a resident of this
city, or you are plain guessing.

Let me tell you that the first item is not to be had in any major
computer stores across the city. While the latter cannot be bought
from
any pharmacy or a drug store, as you have pointed out.

Both these items can be had at Brabourne Road. For the curious,
please
browse through chemical shops at Old China Bazar.

I was given this information by an old acquaintance of mine who
happens
to be a chemist by education, and a consultant by profession.

Hope this helps those who are in the same quandry as I was. I shall
keep this thread upto date with my experiences in using thermal
grease
and isopropyl alcohol.

updates.


Perhaps we should be equally aware that we need to contribute in order
to help others. As you quite rightly pointed out that this is a
worldwide accessible newsgroup for the discussion of hardware issues
relating to the Windows XP operating system, the mere enrichment of
this thread/post with added inputs cant be a distraction. After all, we
never know when this post could probably help you in your times of need.
