Using common household items to reach -60C? You can if you live in the Ghetto, according to Icrontic.com. I'm amazed the thermal stress didn't do something horrible to the processor.

FullOn3D have some benchmarking on a board that supports both DDR SDRAM and normal SDRAM, showing the benefits of DDR.

BLueSmoke have a comparo of two 7200rpm IDE drives.

DeezTech have a bit of a rant about unprofessionalism in IT. This is an article with 6 banner ads and 2 paragraphs of text on the front page. :) Sorry guys, if you're going to bitch-slap, expect to get slapped y'self! Seriously tho, having worked in a similar corporate environment for a long time, a lot of what he says in this article is true. I'm not talking about any members of my old team who still read this site of course. :)

Tech-Report approach the problem from a slightly different angle, proposing that the certification process is partly to blame.

OCMojo have an article on making LCD Status Displays.. all the rage in the case modding game at the moment.

The CS Speed Cheat is one of many cheats really spoiling the game for a lot of people lately. 3DActionPlanet has more info on it, thanks Kazashi. Tigger points out a speed cheat fix! This is for servers, hopefully Sciby will be able to install it on the OCAU/CQU CS server when he gets back from Perth this week sometime.

Tigger sent word of Computer Trader, an Australian online and print-media classifieds for computer gear. Info on the computer markets on that site too.

Another sign of the ad-market shakedown, Yahoo is now accepting paid placements for results. Pay money, appear higher in the search results for keywords you "buy".

Win Stuff:
Heatsinks and goop on 3DFXCool.
Bunch of PCMods.com goodies on CombatGames.
A case of Tooheys Old - OZ COMP on Yap.com.au.
