Ben from over at Rizenet points out these pics of the GNU/Linux kit for the PlayStation2. They're on akiba, so it's all Japanese, but the pictures tell most of the story. Looks extremely cool.
Digit-Life have info on the i815b chipset that supports Tualatin. For those that don't already know it's pronounced two-ala-tin... and it's a pretty speedy chip as well. Runs nice and cool AND has a heatplate to stop you chewing cores.. if only AMD processors had something similar.
Tony pointed out this review of some Aliminium cases.. and they look bloody awesome. Sort of like hi-fi gear.. the internal layout is a bit weird tho, a different place for that PSU might be a good idea. Australian distributors? Me Wantee.
On the same site there is a review of some solid copper ramsinks. They look fairly serious too.
Paul pointed out a review of a combo tape/mp3 player thing. You've no doubt seen them before, they are pretty cool. It's on T3 a UK techno site with babes thrown in, which is also a pretty cool print magazine.
InsideHardware have reviewed the Gigabyte GA-7VTX, a KT266 motherboard. Doesn't say whether it's a rev2 board, but from what I've read it apparently dosn't matter. All the "rev2" consists of is a new BIOS and new IDE drivers, apparently none of the hardware has changed.
PCreview.UK are running a competition. It's one of those post-in-our-forums jobs. And to win big you need to post 35+ interesting, helpful and insightful posts. Right. I don't like those comps, not at all.
Bigpond (is there a usage limit with your nick? hehe) pointed out that 3Dchipset.com are back after some serious DDoS-ing. DDoS-ing bad, them being back Good.
Mick points out some new leaked Matrox Drivers
Now this is a bit of a shock. Compaq appears ready to sell of its Alpha arm that manufacturers the server-only processors, which it obtained from Digital in the buyout some time ago. Those quick off the mark will note that the Athlon processors use an Alpha bus to communicate between the CPU and chipset, that being the EV6.
Also on the Inq, they are reporting that WinXP RC1 is nearly with us, while pirated final-release copies of OfficeXP minus the "activation" security are on sale for $US2.36 from your favourite Pakistani street seller. Oh, and Intel and AMD are in it until Death do them Part. Enough Inq links from me.
