Well, what a weekend! Bathurst, F1, Moto GP, Cricket and Rugby. I think my couch has a new butt groove.
On with the news .... Spode's Abode have a guide to making a cheap fanbus. They claim it can be made for one pound sterling, which is close to the average weekly wage in Aussie Dollars, but still not bad!
PCstats have outlined the SIS desktop chipset road map for 2004.

File sharing company Napster is back, but not for free. Thanks BlackPantha.
Madshrimps show you how to mount a Prometia or VapoChill on your brand new Athlon 64/FX51 setup. "In due time CPU kits will be offered from both nVentiv and Asetek for the AMD A64/FX51 motherboards. But for those of us that don't want to wait, we must improvise!". I'm not entirely sure the words improvise, Prometia and Athlon 64/FX51 sit very comfortably with me, given the not insignificant portion of my nett worth they would cost me .... maybe I'm just getting old. Do it at your own risk, blah blah blah.
Arstechnica have published a new edition of their Linux column, Linux.Ars.
Ever felt like modding a pumpkin? Well, this is your lucky day, as Bjorn3d are running a competition for the best pumpkin mod in celebration of Halloween.

Dan has replied to some more letters in Letters Column 65 ... the last one is a classic. Give yourself an uppercut, son!
Sniper sent news that the Intel CPU roadmap has changed, with Tejas postponed to 2005. That article also mentions that Prescott is likely to dissipate 120W, which is sure to be a cooling challenge. Thanks Sniper.
A shopping centre in Germany is now offering a "man creche" service. "German women fed up with their partners' grumbling on weekend shopping trips can now dump them at a special kindergarten for men offering beer and entertainment.". Sounds great! Of course I'll have to find a partner and move to Germany. Thanks reax.
The timewaster for tonight comes Muppatz in the form of Icy Tower 1.2.
