Manaz sent word of this VERY modded case over in the HardForum. More pics on page 6 of the thread.

Steve from Adelaide says: Just letting you know that the blue led mod does work with logitech mouseman wheel etc and its easier than when done on the microsoft ones. The trick is to use a 5600mcd 5mm water clear lens (dick smith part number z3905 @ $8.75au). I've used the basic $2.50au from the local electronics shop but the tracking was bad. The cheaper LEDS 3mm + 5mm are perfect for modding other parts (so far I have managed my Pioneer DVD, floppy, HX08 case and diamond touch keyboard as well as the mouse mod.) Just thought I'd let you know that they work and look so cool..

Vindaloo thinks that this box is great news for electronic music fans.. okey dokey.

Smash made a keyring from his dead duron.. wow, that's a tiny crack considering my Tbird kept working like this.

Got lots of old computer stuff lying around? Chris has an idea for how you can put it to a good use.. in the forums.

Digit-life have an article on modem compression.

Cool lego case from thedriver..

Interesting "IT Industry" report on RealWorldTech, thanks Manaz.

VIAHW have been playing with a C3 processor.. building a cheapy PC around it.

AboutLinux have a funny article up listing the 10 things Linux needs to be ready for prime time on the Desktop..

Very interesting thing on AcesHardware.. Can SSE-2 save the Pentium 4? - benchmarks aint benchmarks..

Andreas notes that Swiftech have a new pin design for their heatsinks.. seems to be a screw thread or straight serration to increase surface area.

From Andrew: The "Australian Security Research Symposium" is happening on July 11th in Perth. Costs $50 and includes subjects such as Information "Warfare - the Impact of Ethics", "Extranets and Information Warfare" and "Mobile Commerce: its Security Implications". There's an online programme. Obviously only for the nerds among us, but it interests me, so im sure it must interest someone else. You can sign up here. Please emphasise that the stuff about late signups is wrong, there is no late fee :)
