The last two articles from Wolfy and Chainbolt have certainly attracted a lot of attention to the site - it's been like a mini-slashdotting for the last 3 days. I noticed this thread over on AMDMB showing that Chainbolt is far from alone in his negative appraisal of the CPU Radiator Zen. OCBrasil emailed to say: I see that I am not the unique with installation problem. It kill my CPU too. Regarding Wolfy's DIY LCD article, Romio notes that there is Linux LCD software available too. Scott says that here and here have some reasonably-priced LCD's.

Been dreaming of a Voodoo5-6000? That's the monster 4-CPU one. Tensop notes there's one for sale on eBay. I still prefer our Voodoo5-9000. :)

IBM has been copping flack about their 75GXP drives, particularly the 30GB models, for quite some time. They have apparently dismissed the warranty returns as no more than a normal RMA rate for components, but the consumers aren't buying that line anymore. A class-action suit has been filed against IBM - more info here on Tech-Report and here on Ars-Technica.

Wokket noticed some interesting movies of chemical reactions.

From Simon, the World Cyber Games Australia registration is open.

The Acts of Gord website has been updated! Be prepared for extreme time suckage.
