There's a really nicely finished watercooled PC project in the PCDB, with more info in this thread. Another interesting one is cvidler_1's, which uses Asetek's waterchill kit (reviewed here) in addition to a peltier on the CPU.

NordicHardware compared 11 Power Supply Units from various manufacturers. PCTechZone has a few PSU's from A+GBP compared. TrustedReviews have part 2 of their DVD writer roundup posted.

Bjorn3D have an article about video card reviews and benchmarking, with comments from some big names in the games industry.

JSI have a blowhole guide posted, a good first case-mod if you're wanting to get started.

9600XT and 5700U go head to head on NeoSeeker, in a battle of the value videocards.

When I see this kind of thing, half of me thinks "Yay, amazing new display technology", while the other half thinks "argh, now the spam will be everywhere".

A glowing USB duck is just what we all need, thanks Sumero.

SharkyExtreme have a value gaming PC buyer's guide posted.

Some idiots take their network gaming way too seriously, thanks Don. Very unfortunate.

From MWP: It seems that Creative have bought out Sensaura. Sensaura supplies the 3D audio software used by almost every Soundcard maker that isnt Creative. This is a BIG blow to the PC audio market and will probably have more effect that when Creative bought out Aureal a few years back.

LostCircuits consider hard drive performance and how relevant benchmarking is. Speaking of which, Toshiba have some super-skinny HDD's on the way.

Win yourself some Hobbity goodness over on HardAvenue.

There's a LAN in Mackay, QLD on the 12th/13th of December - info here. There's one in Adelaide on the 20th. There's another in Sydney this weekend, but apparently you have to PM this person for info. Get a webpage!

Today's timewaster is fan and ball, from Callan.
