We've seen this before, but it's worth another look: Mal noticed Nico building 2 VapoChills into a Lian-Li case. Nice work! Also, some interesting homemade watercooling in Stoodoo's PCDB entry.

fxr91 noticed another wireless broadband trial in Sydney and Melbourne.

Another internet "give me money" thing, but this time it's on ebay, thanks Andrew.

Dan has more letters. Hooray.

Bit of a strange one from quokked: go to this list of US presidential candidates and scroll down to the Vermont Voice heading. The picture of candidate "Howard Dean" looks.. well.. oddly familiar to Australians.

Even stranger one from Nicholas: What do you do with all those extra Age of Empires CD's lying around? Well, you give them to Kellogs to stick on the front of Nutri-Grain, that's what! I was at Woolies today and on the front of the Kellogs Nutri-Grain Box was a Free Full version CD of Age Of Empires. Jeez, I used to be chuffed if I got a sticker in my corn flakes..

Stew spotted that this Digidoc FAQ hints (in the last question) at a new version on the way, code-named Erewon. That's "nowere" backwards though, so is it a joke? We reviewed the Digidoc 5 here a while ago.

ATI sent along an interesting press-release.. they're partnering with DivXNetworks, which bodes well for future video playback quality on ATI chips. In the first collaboration between the two companies, ATI's new Visual Processing Units (VPU) will integrate DivX video compression technology and offer optimized playback of high-quality DivX video files. Thanks to hardware and software optimizations performed by ATI and DivXNetworks, RADEON 9500 & 9700-based products significantly increases video performance (up to 50% using post-processing) and reduce CPU usage when decoding DivX video.
