Well, I think it's fair to say that the new forums are a huge success! :) 1100 signups in 24 hours, yikes! The forum system served 122,934 pages during Wednesday. We did have a minor hiccup at one point when the MySQL server hit its connections limit.. a quick fiddle with the memory settings, double the limit and we were back on track. We had 200+ simultaneous users browsing the forums at one point.. I admit, I had my fears that the community might have been struck a mortal blow and dispersed elsewhere in the absence of the OCAU forums - but nope, here we all are again. Good to have you back. :)
Happy birthday to Diluded for yesterday too. No more announcing birthdays on the news page I think, looking through the forum calendar it's hard to find a day that doesn't have 2 or 3 people's birthdays on it. :) BTW, if you are involved with a LAN Party group or some other organisation that has events of interest to the OCAU community, drop me a note and I'll make you a Calendar Administrator so you can add publically-viewable events to the Calendar.
In all the excitement I missed the PC Database passing 1700 entries.. so not sure exactly who's it was. The cool entries keep pouring in though - some tricked-out boxes from Arachnadactly, Da_Mann, pH@tTm@N and DrunkenJeckel.. all very cool. Of course, entries without pictures are also very welcome, the more data in there the more useful it is.
SilverProp posted pics of a Vapochill unit now available in Oz, in the forums. Supercool, superfast, super non-cheap.
Silly geek medical condition article from Andrew.. :)
xbit went for a wander around the AOpen motherboard factory.

There's a 4-way socketA cooler roundup on PinoyPC.
This site is really slow for me but apparently there's a guide to making a steering wheel for your PC on it, thanks pohar.
BSOD have a shim shootout. I've had a couple of shim throwouts before..
SystemLogic went to PCExpo2001.. they don't say where it is, tho. I'm presuming the USA somewhere.
From Julian, a hand-powered Linux webserver.. hmm, is this another joke like the potato-powered one? :)
