Only 2 days left in the millennium.. still don't really have any plans for NYE here, hmm.
There's been a heap of entries in the PCDB over the last couple of days, it jumped from 598 to 611 overnight. Remember it will host your pictures for you, so no need to go finding banner-infested webspace elsewhere.
Far out, we have been on this dedicated server for nearly 6 months, and ONLY NOW someone tells me that the email signup form is broken. Heaps of people sign up every day and would have all seen that error.. sheesh. :) Thanks Stephen. BTW, I haven't sent out any email to the mailing list in a loooong time. I want to get the back-end management of the list working better before I start regular mailouts again..
Wow, how cool is this? A fold-out LCD screen that fits in a 5.25 bay.. go check it out! Thanks Chris.
Mek has shrouded his orb.. no pictures and an ALL CAPS WEB SITE, but interesting info. Might be worth an experiment on a rainy day..
D128.com (weird name - anyone else remember the C128D? :) ) .. uhhmm.. have an interesting idea which might let you make a slightly more educated guess about the potential core speed of a given cpu., help you pick a good one at the markets mebbe.
Another interesting idea on G3D, using chopsticks to remove/install heatsinks. You often need to use a tool for extra leverage with the tight clips on modern heatsinks and a chopstick won't carve up your mobo if you slip like a screwdriver can.
GU have a little info saying the X-Box will be launched/announced on Jan 6th.
Marz points out power-one who make teeny-tiny power supplies. Not suitable for replacing your ATX PSU, but good for powering those other little goodies inside your case like peltiers etc I think..
Hexus have a thing on making cat5 ethernet crossover cables..
OCOnline checked out a couple of cardcooler-type devices. We reviewed the same two units here a few months ago.
This is quite neat, a database of blorb compatability.. so you can find out if it'll fit your video card or chipset.. thanks Allan.
CAD have a video of motion blur in action, a demo in Q3..
IH have some preview info on a new DDR P3 board from Epox. Nothing too exciting..
Reviews: Abit SA6R i815E mobo on Apu's. Senfu DIY House on HardwareOne. My review here. I have been using it recently, for a testbed in my new computer room.. PC-170 SDRAM (not a typo) on IANAG. Wow. Yes I know it's not a standard. Go away. 1GHz Tbird Athlon on PCStats. Videologic Vivid Kyro-based vidcard on Guru3D. Razer Boomslang 2000 on EXHardware. Our review here.
