Hmm, very quiet today. I'm also paranoid about April Fools jokes now, so some of this news may be completely fictitious. :)

Most suspicious is news on Hexus that VIA is being inhaled by AMD. Is this an April Fools joke? Nothing obvious that I can see, except they quote VIA as having a bad year when I thought they were having a fantastic year with the success of their chipset products. Hmm. If it's serious, it's seriously big news, and AMD will massively strengthen their hold on the CPU/chipset market. Update: They have retracted it, surprise surprise. :)

In even more shocking news, BitBoys Bought NVIDIA.. pffft. :)

IPKonfig have info on a tiny peltier.. not sure what it'd really be useful for, tho.

Wow, now this is a hardcore mod.. putting perspex in the top of your HDD. I hope this isn't an April Fools thing too. You'd have to be brave to do it to an expensive new drive, but how cool is that? Thanks Tom!

Origin, who made some fantastic games over the years, is no more. Thanks Xixys.

ProCooling have an article on multiplexing PSU's for 24v..

In case you missed it, HardOCP have a new design up.
