Pentium 200 Heatsink Removal

Hey everyone, I'm trying to build a cool looking machine out of an old Asus motherboard and a Pentium 200 CPU I've got. I'm going to mount the board on a think piece of perspex, and then attach a power supply and hard drive underneath. I'm going to use a Super Orb I've got lying around as a heatsink, with the fand removed - which
a) will look damn cool as a passive heatsink
b) will be silent
c) should cool fine for an old Pentium 1.

However, I can't seem to get the standard heatsink off! I'm told it's stuck on with epoxy. Is this true, and if so, is it possible to get it off? I'd really like to be able to remove it, because if I can, the only noise will be the HDD and the Power Supply fan - maybe I'll even put in a boot ROM and lose the HDD

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, or experience with the number crunching inferno that is the Pentuim Classic [ ] , I'd love to know about it.

Also, can I post pictures to these forums? If so I'll post a MAX render I made of what it'll look like, and I'll throw a picture of the finished product on here once it's up and running.

Thanks a lot

Ben

CALV is exactly right.
But, in the event that that doesn't work, buy some cheap guitar strings, and use the high E (it's the thinnest). Slide it between the heatsink and the chip, and cut the thing off. Then clean the epoxy with something abrasive, and rubbing alcohol.

No, you misunderstood me. I said "Vice and Sledgehammer". Works much better.
