前几天，跑了一趟springvale，本来打算买个羊肉串的烤炉，当我找到的时候，立刻改变了想法。那个烤炉，就是用铁皮做出来的，就是国内平房烧炉子的烟囱的那种材料。很薄。又想了想，反正我现在赋闲在家，干啥不自己做个得了，正好还有一个报废的电脑机箱。

 

回家对这电脑机箱，坐了5分钟，琢磨了一下，开始动手。其实，我的做法比较简单，只是把一侧的挡板摘下来，折成了U字形，然后把机箱上盖摘下来，放在U里面做一个挡板，然后再在挡板上打一些洞，通风使用。网上也有别的方法，如果有rivet gun（铆钉枪）的话，可以做的更漂亮，考虑到成本问题，这次暂且用笨方法做了。做完后的成品，比较粗糙。不过不影响使用。

 

开始准备烧烤咯。第一次搞。经验不足啊。我先喂一下肉，主要用的是料酒和生抽，事实证明，不喂也应该OK，生抽不该加，后来感觉有点咸。

 

穿好的肉串。

 

这布比较关键，烧火，要用BBQ light放在下面。上面盖上碳，然后烧，一小块light可以烧15分钟，我搞了2次才搞好。第一次的时候，light的位置放的不好，15分钟后，碳还是黑色的，没怎么烧到。要把黑色的碳烧成外面都是灰色才行，到了这个时候，碳才完全烧着了，外层的灰色是烧完的炭灰，里面 还是在燃烧的。这个时候的碳最好，热量高，没明火，能用很久。

 

开始烤咯，这个步骤就简单了，只要火好，翻面，加料就OK。我感觉还是火旺点好，一下肉能拷出油，烤的快，而且不容易老，下次我还要多加些碳，或者调整一下挡板和肉之间的距离。

 

 

自烤自吃，家里没啤酒了，只能喝点果酒了，爽，自己动手，丰衣足食啊。呵呵

After viewing a post about X fi xtreme card mod, I decided to start this project on my nearly new X fi xtreme music DELL OEM.

My x fi xtreme music DELL OEM ed. Just bought for one week..

Simple tools including: 40w soldering iron, 1.6mm new tip, 1mm solder (0.71mm is out of stock)

LM4562 opamp from National Semi
2200uf 16v cap from local store (forgot to take a pic on it)
Procedure seems simple:
1. replace stock cap with new 2200uf cap
2. replace stock opamp with new LM4562

Cap been replaced. And new one is bigger, so have to put it like this way.
When I tried to remove the stock opamp, problem came. I never had any experience on removing opamp. I have heard some special tool should be used, but what I had was just a 40w soldering iron. After a few tries, I removed it with two solder spot fallen off the board. GOD, I should have practised more if I knew this was the result.
After a few minutes, an idea came to my mind. I could use blade to find out the wires which were connected to the solder spot. And then, enamelled wires could be used to connect that slim wire on board to the leg of opamp. Enamelled wire was found from my old  earphone.

And finally, opamp was placed on. But the problem is that enamelled wires used are very slim (even slimmer than a hair). If the sound card is warm, that very small solder spot could be melted and the wires may fall off. Any suggestions about that? Or the opamp on a sound card would not be warm??
Do I need to glue the wires to make them stable??
