Not surprisingly, a few sites have "2002 in review" articles posted. First in is Tech-Report, with OCAddiction and Bjorn3D offering their opinions also.

LiquidNinjas have squeezed a PC into a toaster in their latest project. They also took a moment to compare waterblocks from Swiftech and Danger Den.

Meanwhile, Bit-Tech have been fabricating stuff from acrylic/plexiglass.

From Matex: Someone has made a HTTPd that is only 4KB big. It's written in Perl so it can be used on any OS that has Perl loaded. Very funky indeed. I've used it, and it works a treat, it would be good for smoothwalls and stuff too.

TweakersAsylum have updated their DetonatorXP Database, comparing various versions of nVidia's video chipset drivers.

Adrian's Rojak Pot has a guide to making a battery extender for your laptop or PDA.

Interesting one from VR-Zone: how to run a mobile Pentium 4 on a normal desktop board and increase the FSB above 200Mhz on air cooled to achieve 100% overclocked.

A few from Iroquois: Microsoft has been ordered to include Sun's Java in Windows. 802.11g hits the U.K. NewScientist's 2002: The year in technology reviewed.

Their site seems to be back to normal now, but Elvis reckons the RIAA were hacked again.
