Looks touchy but I believe I can handle it. I'm hoping it doesn't take the whole aftrenoon..... What took you longer than that anyway, may I ask?
The install pictures are enlarged. The real points on the MB are much smaller. Be sure you look at all of them and if you have any doubt get a pro. Its VERY easy to screw up a PS2.
