The news has been backing up over the last day or two so here is a short news post to help clear the backlog...

Forum member Smack01 has started an "Antec Case Owners/Modders Club" sticky thread in the forums here. If you own one of these cases this would be a good place to look for ideas on your next case mod.

There is some more information about the weekends internet outage on the forums.military.com site. They list the root servers that suffered the most as well as following the outage through its course. Raz0r sent that link in.

nEoLIthIc tells us that Version 5.0.3 of Divx has been released. Time to upgrade again. Divx is a codec and player set, that is required to view many of the video files you might find on the internet. If you are having trouble playing your video files then head on over to the DivX main site and read all about it.

Bench House have posted another storage test. This time they compare how differently CD and DVD drives behave when doing the ordinary everyday tasks. They test drives from Teac, Benq and Pioneer.

Something interesting from SJC. It seems Microsoft may have been hit hard by the weekends network outage as he has been trying to activate his copy of Windows XP over the phone. Microsoft told him they were having technical problems with their systems and were unable to provide activation IDs until the problem was fixed. He was asked to call back later in the week, "so until then I have a completely unusable system. So much for customer support!
