Been a little slack about news, sorry about that - I've been working on OCAU's new server. Here's a screenshot from its first POST. Jeez, that monitor needs a clean. :)
Weird story of the day would have to be 80yo visits nightclub, from Sniper. Actually, this one about a killer painting is even stranger.
There's some nicely detailed PCDB entries with lots of pics of their watercooled setups from microant and Tempus2. Shadow_M's entertainment PC is interesting, too.
HyRax1 has way too much time on his hands; If you enter "Schwarzenegger for governor" (without quotes) in Google, along with your results you get a small message advising that the word "for" is a common word and has therefore been left out of your search query. Sounds fair enough. But if you re-do the search again this time with "Schwarzenegger governor" (leaving out the word "for", and again without the quotes), then the search results are very different! This means that Google IS factoring in the word "for" in your search!
From Jason: Some high res photos of the new G5 Powermac beautifully displayed, better than the Apple site. And a funny look at the Intel A5 version.
A cool amphibious vehicle from Pasan, info here and here.
A few people pointed out that AquaMark 3 is coming on September 15. I haven't seen much of this one. It's apparently the first commercial benchmark offering both: a real world DirectX 9 game engine and free access to an online database, the AquaMark Result Comparator ARC.
Got a skanky keyboard? Modasylum have a guide to cleaning it.
Win y'self a GeForce FX5600 video card over on EnvyNews. The prize can be won by any resident of planet Earth, provided that they are 18-years of age or older. All you have to do is send them an email.
ARP have updated their BIOS Optimization Guide again.
Shintaro notes that ATI's Catalyst 3.7 drivers have been released. Drivers are here, release notes are here. There's a thread in the forums here about them.
PCStats show you how to get rid of evil nasty spyware from your PC.
The HomeWorld 2 demo is out - AusGamers have the goods as always.
This has to be one of the most embarrassing security bungles ever.. two mainframes were simply wheeled out of an Australian Customs office in Sydney.

Really big radiator! in Extreme Cooling.
