Most owners of an EPOX 8RDA motherboard will be aware of the heat issues associated with this fine board. Some people have come up with clever mods to keep the temps down. Xtreme PC TECH take a look at one way of cooling things down.

Microsoft have come up with an idea to improve on the humble mouse. A simple idea, wheels that tilt as well as roll. Thanks PodgeSSS.

Make some room on your case for a new badge! AMD have released the new logos for their line of 64bit chips. More info here and here. They look a bit bland to me. Thanks for the links sniper.

Another one of those "Enter you personal details here so we can rob you blind" scams is doing the rounds, this time its Hotmail based, asking you to confirm your details so it can steal them. Do people still use hotmail? I don't know...anything from a hotmail address won't make it through my spam filters. Thanks Murray.

OCC have a rant about shady computer companies and their efforts to get good reviews, before the product has even been reviewed.

[H]ard|OCP have posted an article on nVidia's marketing strategy's and other aspects of the company's behaviour over the last year or so. "On the other end of the scale we have the GeForceFX 5800 series that without a doubt turned into the biggest joke in our community since Matrox brought us the Parhelia".

PCStats have posted an advanced guide to VPNs and Internet Connection Security. Quite a good read.

Bjorn3D have a good how-to guide to Etching and Creating a case window.

Now this sounds interesting, serial attached SCSI that can move data at rates of up to 5 Gbps. Read more here. Also from Murray

I wonder how much money Microsoft spends on legal costs each year. Not enough by the sounds of this $521 Million decision that went against them. Thanks Lavinius.

I think we've linked to this before but hey, its an idea worthy of mention. Anything that uses the PC to produce alcohol gets my attention. "TK421, why aren't you at your post?"

"SCO Group to Shoot Babies", but don't worry too much, its from BBspot. A good laugh from Adam.

Dans done it again, no...not that. More letters!

Thats all for now, Gibbon will arrive later with some reviews.
