CeBIT 2003, a PC and technology exhibition, is on in Sydney this week. I'll be heading down there at some point to take some pics, as I did in 2001 and 2002, of whatever catches my eye. Not sure what day I'll be there, but I'll be in an OCAU tshirt - say hi if you spot me. :)
VoidedWarranty have a couple of quick articles for your reading pleasure: a guide to cleaning your heatsink to prevent dust causing heat problems, and changing your PSU fan to a more fancy one.
Once you've cut your teeth on those, you could try GideonTech's guide to making an illuminated hard drive window. Cool mod, but don't do it to a drive full of important data!
From SpeedRacer: With the release of the new iPod, I thought it best that we dont overlook its cometitor from Creative, who have just released a 60Gb!! version of their new Zen portable mp3 player. Only $400US (about what I paid for my original jukebox 2 years ago), it looks like the hard drive based market is certainly hotting up!
Also attracting some attention is Apple's new "download a song for 99c" music service.. some info here and here. 250,000 songs downloaded in the first day!
Bern spotted GinGin64, a technology preview of RedHat's offering on the AMD64 platform.
WinHQ have part one of an article on building a webserver, focusing on the hardware side of things. If you're interested, you can see the hardware that OCAU uses: our current server's pics and specs and the pics and specs of our previous server. People often ask me if our next server will use AMD or Intel CPU's and I can honestly say I don't know. With no particular bias I'll pick whoever gives me the best combination of bang for buck and stability on the day. Fortunately our current server is, for the most part, coping fine - so that's one decision I don't have to make yet.
James spotted more info on TheReg about Palladium possibly shipping with Longhorn. What are those buzzwords? Microsoft's digital right's management system possibly shipping with their next generation operating system. The problem is that pretty much everyone other than Microsoft seems to think that Palladium isn't such a good idea.
Digital-Daily have a roundup of KT400 motherboards, a slightly older chipset for socketA DDR nowadays, with nForce2 and more recently KT400A around, but still popular.
Rogue sent in today's flash timewaster - it's Traffic Jam, quite an addictive little sliding-blocks puzzle game.
