X120e - Thermal Compound Replacement (for great justice)

I decided to write up a bit of a thread to document my success in replacing the stock thermal compound on the X120e's heatsink, since I've seen no threads whatsoever documenting the subject otherwise. I believe this to mostly be because the laptop is still a new model and most still have a warranty... and opening it up and doing this can void your warranty. So I thought, why not! and this is the thread before you.

Note: you CAN INDEED void your warranty for opening...
