Pentiums and keys

So last May school was getting rid off old stuff in the pc lab room. I saw that they were throwing away some ancient motherboards so I requested to take one home instead of throwing it away. Both headmaster and programming teacher knowing of my geeky self gladly let me take one. On the motherboard was a pentium III so I've seen people doing it on the internet before and I wanted to make a keychain/pendant out of my newly acquired pentium.
Today I've started with depinning the chip which took me a while and was one of the most frustrating things ever since the pins were too well soldered on the chip and took me a while. Bending them was rather difficult too since the tool I had wan't strong enough to do the job, it ended up bending itself

Now I need to find a diamond drilling thingy....

You should be able to drill though the corner of the chip PCB with a normal HSS drill bit very easily, no need for any diamond bit stuff.
