Nice water-and-peltier cooled machine here from Hack100. I notice there's been a fair bit of voting going on the PCDB lately.. check out the current Top 10 for looks, functionality, effort and ingenuity. There's also the Overall Top 10 and unsurprisingly the GTRPC is dominating at the moment.
OCPrices compared a Kyro II based video card to a GF2 MX400 unit..
Will this be the next rage in case modding - personalised waterblock mounts..?
Tim noticed over on Tweak3D's news page (scroll down) a quick report on the recent Intel Developer Forum - including this snippet: Celeron 1.1GHz: Intel will soon be releasing a 1.1 and 1.0GHz Celeron processor. When asked about SMP capabilities, Intel didn't say that Celeron and Tualatin "won't" work but says that "we just won't support it but it does work". Get your dual Tualatin boards ready because 512KB Cache Tualatins and Celeron 1.1GHz will be the cream of the crop for cheap SMP action from Intel.
Leo sent in this review of the Tyan Thunder MP dual SocketA motherboard over on SocketA.com. This is the cheapy version of the server-class Thunder K7 we sneak-previewed ages ago, to the detriment of our webserver. Quite a few Australian vendors have the cheapy one on offer now, at about the $550-600 mark. The expensive one remains scarily so, roughly a grand more.
Wokket sent in this link about bystanders egging on and jeering at suicidal people. I'm sure he just meant it as an offtopic-but-interesting link, but it says some surprisingly relevant stuff. Given the insanity going on in our "The Pub" forum lately - and particularly yesterday evening - that link offers an insight into why people behave differently when in a crowd or some other situation that provides a level of anonymity.
Also from Wokket, MS associating alcohol with education and an ancient labyrinth turns out to be (yet another) relic from the 1970's..
On an even lighter note, Tony sent in this humour page, worth having a poke around in.. I've been sucked into the "Supposedly True Stories" section already. :)
Reviews: Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 Kyro-II based video card on Guru3D. Romtech HDD Selector on ExplosiveHardware. Antec JetCool socket370 cooler on NeoSeeker. Blue Orb chipset cooler on XtremeMods. These things are often not flat so lapping them helps. VIA P4X266 Pentium 4 chipset on VR-Zone. Gladiator round cables on Tweakmax. Our review of a similar product here, cheapy option here. OCZ Titan overclocking-friendly GeForce3 video card on SharkyExtreme, thanks Chuppa.
