Matt noticed this Linux Hardware Database which contains reader-submitted reviews of hardware with an emphasis on how well it works with Linux.
Apparently Intel are warning people away from VIA's P4X266 chipset, thanks Firemoth.
If you run an IIS4 or IIS5 webserver, you should upgrade to Apache.. err, sorry, no, you should install this security patch from Microsoft, thanks Alan.
John noticed this interesting thread over on AMDMB's forums about adjusting PSU output via dials inside the unit. Only some have them, but you could defray a PSU upgrade or make your machine more stable with a bit more juice on vital lines. Of course, playing around inside your PSU is a really good way to get yourself killed, so make sure it's turned off, left plugged in for an hour then unplugged and left for a good while too before you even think about opening it up.
Some info about Evil Smart Tags and how they're bad for websites.

There's a quite surreal but strangely compelling article here on ARSTechnica. It's pretending to be a mouse review but it digresses a lot and is quite funny in parts.
Willmeister revealed the secret link between Calvin & Hobbes and Fight Club.
Samsung are apparently producing 333MHz DDR SDRAM.. that's 166x2, of course.
There's an article on a couple of IDE RAID cards on StorageReview as well as an IDE RAID vs SCSI RAID comparison on GamePC, thanks Nigel.
