NordicHardware have reviewed 6 PSUs from Antec, Zalman, Enermax, Levicom and AOpen, so if you're in the market for a new PSU, have a look.

Theres a fairly good guide to lapping your heatsink over on GideonTech. If you're about to give it a go for the first time, or even if you consider yourself a pro, give it a read.

This idea caught my eye. Its a USB 2.0 External Drive Rack. Full review over on OCC.

On AusModders, an article which looks at the differences, performance wise, between the 8xAGP and the 4xAGP Xmicro Ti4200's. Read more here.

If you're having computer problems, The Tech Zone have a fairly general troubleshooting guide which you might find helpful. You could also have a read through our own Troubleshooting Help forum and get help from others who might have had the same problem.

Over on Ars Technica, EA Games and nVidia team up. "EA development teams will use PCs powered by NVIDIA GPUs to create eye-popping 3D effects while allowing full compatibility across all PC gaming systems featuring NVIDIA hardware." This sounds like good news. Thanks Bern.

Club Overclocker get hold of a couple of Seagate Cheetah 15K drives and try them out in RAID. Fast!

OCWarehouse try to "Help protect your dignity with a CPU shim". Shims have a huge following, of those either for or against their use. Have a read here and see which team you're on.

This from kasi. "This guy custom manufactures Home Theater PC Cases. He has also designed a passive heatsink for a Radeon 9700 Pro. It relies on negative airpressure in your case to work. This isn't a real review but he does test it himself in one of his cases."

If you are a Trekkie and are in the market for some real estate, check out this apartment on Ebay. Thanks Simon.

There is a couple of Lans happening over the easter weekend. on the Gold Coast, Gameserve: Siege. 300 seater lan, full details on the site. Also, in Newcastle, a marathon Lan over 5 days is happening called Se7en. Stock up on sleep before that one.

If someone points their mobile phone at you...Take Cover! Thanks Tori Lee.

For those lucky enough to own a Geforce FX card, this page shows how to make the Elf like girl in the Nvidia Elfian demo do a striptease. From Anthony. This link is probably not work safe!
