ExplosiveLabs have a 12-way i845PE motherboard comparison, while Hexus checked out some budget 2700 memory. Tech-Report rounded up some hard drives.

Guru3D have
updated RivaTuner, for tweaking your NVIDIA or ATI video card.

ExtremeOC have a PSU guide to help you pick one. Meanwhile, XtremeTek have a couple of power supply mods posted, including adding a piggy-back power connector like they all had in the good old days.

Abit's BH6 was one of the boards to have back in the Slot1 days. Their new BH7 is apparently aimed squarely at overclockers also - it's a P4 board based on the i845PE chipset. VR-Zone have the first review that I recall seeing - will be reading that one with interest.

In a strange new twist, Dan has answered some more letters.

You know things are out of control on the case-lighting front when even ArsTechnica are reviewing sound-controlled cold cathode kits.

Mark noticed this weblog which is apparently from a person in Baghdad. I'm not going to get caught up in the politics or war debate, but it's interesting to hear the perspective from the ground. You kinda forget that there's still people going to work and buying groceries and stuff there.

From Gazza: Apparently Xbox Live is due in Australia in October this year. But if you are keen you can just import the kit from the US and use it now. The only potential problem that I can see is that once you have registered with the US server you may not be able to change it back to the Oz server when the time comes... may the fun begin!

VIA's mini-ITX platform has hit 1GHz now, report SilentPCReview.

Digit-Life have a virtual tour of NVIDIA's California headquarters.

From Falkor: This is just a reminder that the Sydney Cruise and BBQ is on this weekend, so if anyone isn't doing anything this Sunday then come down and meet us at Homebush (details here), chat about whatever and have a good day :) As well as a nice cruise in the sun! That's a car/bike cruise, not a "Love Boat" cruise..

Tim managed to dig up more evidence that alcohol is good for you. Hurrah!

ASELabs have some musings on Intel's mobile technology like Centrino.

Some more CeBit 2003 coverage: Guru3D and Tuneworld.. in German but good pics.

Flash timewasters: Greg says GLTron is a yet another Tron lightcycles game, with nice graphics. PraiseB sent in this who wants to be a millionaire game, but this is the US version and is apparently free.. didn't realise you had to pay the one linked yesterday.
