Hmm.. fairly quiet at the moment - and to be expected, it's 2.30AM. Just put the finishing touches on an assignment, still have to finish another one. I'm getting there. Be nice if it wasn't so freakin cold, but you get that. Especially when you can't afford a heater ;)
The Duke of URL has a massive roundup of Linux Distros.. it also contains a bit of a stark reminder of the recent tech-industry bust with a few distros on the not-being-officially-updated list. Most notable are Corel Linux and Gentus Linux (the one Abit created). Oh well - it's GNU, it'll never truly die.
Hexus have reviewed a pre-modded case from CoolCaseMods.com - and built a blue system around its blue neon. A blue KT7E goes with a blue Herc GF3. They could also hunt down a blue network card, add a Herc Game Theater XP and your almost all blue. Just find a blue CPUfx cooler like the one in our cooler guide and some blue rounded cables and you're done. Da ba dee.
Thermaltake now make DDR RAM, if you where not already aware. Club OC have a review of a 128Mb stick.. and naturally it comes with cooling options :)
TacoNuts has reviewed the PCTote - sort of like the CaseAce GearGrip Pro's we saw a heap of reviews about a while back. Interestingly there is now also a GearGrip Pro for your monitor - supporting CRT's up to 21" in size. I'd like to see an average LANner carry a 21" monitor in one hand tho, handle or not.
I found this article over on Speedguide.net demystifying the mysteries of uncapping your cable modem. The speed cap that is.. and the short and curlies is it's not possible. At least on all of Optus and most of Telstra.. pretty decent explanation of the way the DOCIS standard works - and DOCIS won't allow you to change your own settings. Oh well, at least now we know :)
351W Enermax PSU reviewed on JSi Hardware. Prices for these in aus are dropping as they become more common.
It seems everyone is trying to play catch up with Wolfy's massive cooler roundup. Including Dan. He has reviewed QUITE (his caps not mine) a few coolers, with 22 air coolers, 2 radiators and two waterblocks all with "calibrated-heater ambient-temperature-compensated realistic-contact-patch thermal resistance figures". And all on one page. Go Dan.
And in proper mIRCStats style, Real Reviews tried to look cool and reviewed 5 air coolers.
WildAndyC has taken a look at SOI CPU manufacturing processes and explain how AMD is going to use them to make killer processors soon. At 3AM I'm not about to find out what SOI stands for, so do it yaself. G'night.
