Anyone else stay up late watching the Superbikes last night? That was some good racing.. :)

Yet another modified HX/HQ08 system in the PCDB - Rick's watercooled machine. Love the BIOS logo. :)

TheHeatsinkGuide have a great plain-english article on calculating your CPU's power usage.. useful for deciding on cooling.

Neill points out another article on those cyborg eels we heard about a few months ago.

This from Manaz: I was at the North Rocks computer markets yesterday - 128MB PC-133 (Kingmax): $66 And I didn't buy any. With my main gaming machine having only 128MB in it. I think I must be crazy :P Also saw a nice 8 port 10/100 autosensing switch (Motech I think) for anything from $130 to $180. I think I might be picking one of those up in the next few weeks... Mototech, probably - they're good for the price, there's been an 8-port one holding the AggCave together for over a year now.. I'd be checking the PCB version of that kingmax too.

A few people have recently sent word of this (hopefully) satirical weapons site, BirdMan.org, where you can pick up such goodies as homeboy sights for your pistol and a mountain dew shotgun.

Over in TheTechZone's forums there's some loony cooling pictures, mostly borrowed from u-san.net and Bunny's Workshop, our favourite mad lad from Japan. A 2.1GHz tbird is impressive stuff, but their methods are not very practical for long-term use..

All-Games point out that violence was around before video games. Makes a few interesting points..

TechCentral.de have a guide to installing an Ali Magick chipset board. Unfortunately it's auto-translated into English from German.. which means it's almost indecipherable. Who has placed up to now on a chip sentence from the house Via, one knows now and then some hours(lessons) must spend to install this really correctly. This is considered(applies) particularly when no particularly useful manual lies to the hand which describes the exact installation. .. hmm, I guess you can work out what they mean.

TacoNuts have some feedback about their changing-mouse-LED article. Interesting stuff from some (apparently) knowledgeable readers about why the tracking suffers..

Tim mentioned these cool silver IDE cables.. neato and not cheap.

More bizzarre stuff on ZZZ Online..
