I've managed to hook up some cheap hosting for a second OCAU server box - low-bandwidth only, so it'll do behind-the-scenes stuff rather than hosting much actual content. It'll make administration of the DNS and a few other things a lot easier and during heavy load it will help with image serving etc. I'll be using the bits donated to the CS server to make this second server. Anyway, the problem is that it has to be a 19" rackmount box and I'm having trouble finding a cheap case to stick the server in. Anyone got an old ATX-capable rackmount case they're wanting to get rid of cheaply? Drop me a note if you do, thanks..
ExtremeOC have an article on something we were chatting about in IRC a couple of nights ago, mod_gzip. This is a module for the Apache webserver software (that we use) that lets it send compressed data to browsers that will accept it (and most do, these days). This means, at the cost of higher CPU utilization, that your webserver uses less bandwidth and people receive pages faster. Definitely something I'll be looking into on our server(s) as our bandwidth usage continues to rise - we've got CPU power to burn most of the time.
The PCDB has been powering away, 20 entries in the last 2 days - wouldn't mind seeing some more pics of Downer's watercooled system, Astro1 has a nicely tricked-out gold box and noX-ripperUTZ uses ducting to assist the dreaded Titan Majesty Twin cooler. :)
OC.NZ have some pics of some new ThermalTake products including the Dragon Orb..
Radeonic have a guide to buying a case for your goodies to live in. Never thought I'd see the day when a miditower case could be the most expensive part of your system but it's not that uncommon these days. People are recognising that a good case makes life easier if you're the type to be ripping the side panels off all the time and delving within. I don't even know where the side panel for my main machine is at the moment..
This is old news now, but AMDWorld have an article on AXIA Athlons and why they're good.
