Looks like a sci-fi movie outside! Very smoky, eerie yellow glow, the sun is an orange pinpoint up there. Keeping the radio on today, that's for sure. Going out to see Lord of the Rings soon, tho.

Unique-Hardware reviewed the Antec SX1030 fulltower which looks suspiciously like the Macase Champion series of cases - we reviewed their fulltower and midtower versions recently.

Upaboveit noted an interesting thread on the 2CPU.com forums which indicates that, contrary to earlier rumours, AthlonXP's will work in SMP on the Asus AMD760MPX-based dual SocketA motherboard. That's good news.

3DGameMan have a video article (for the non-bandwidth-impaired) about unlocking AthlonXP chips.

BSoD checked out some Titan products including the Majesty Twin cooler we reviewed here a while ago and didn't think much of. BSoD felt similarly.

On a similar note, we had one of the first reviews of the CPU Radiator Zen heatpipe-based socket cooler a few months ago. Now, TS Electronics (who make it) have come forward, presumably in response to our review and the many others expressing similar concerns, with a Flash animation showing the correct way to assemble + fit the cooler. Well, that's nice, but it's not going to bring back all the crunched CPU's and scratched motherboards, is it?

Here's some cool high-speed photos spotted by Matex.
