Here the detailed socket dimensions are, stolen right out of the AMD thermal design appendix.

edit; forgot to mention they are for AMD64 processors, not socket A

I use mastercam 9.1 since my father allready have it in his workshop , its probly the best and most powerfull and expensive CAD\CAM program when it comes to machining.
realy hard on the design part , no free handish at all , u will have to build it via geometrical models.

Solidworks is probly the one for ya , userfriendly , easy to use , alot of freehand options and very flexible , very expensive program aswell..

autocad is crap when coming to machining..dunno about working with it , but the files we recive from ppl who use it are godamn useless.

there are tons of programs out there , there are also some nice freeweres who arent so bad

Shouldn't. I run it on a 1.1gig celeron laptop with 256megs SDRAM just fine. This POS is slower than my old Duron 700 Desktop.
