Gareth noticed this hardware hacks site which has been recently translated into English. Quite a few interesting little projects there, including mounting a fan inside your mouse to keep your hand cool. :)
Bit-Tech modified a DigiDoc. We reviewed the original unit here a fair while ago now.
Apparently there's a newish version of SpeedFan out and they've updated the list of supported motherboards, thanks Ben.
AcidHardware have compared 4 heatsinks, from Zalman and Fortis.
Kazashi noted the TuxBox project, which aims to be an open-source gaming console.
leperMessiah spotted an interesting thing in OCOnline's recent Abit BD7-RAID review - The divider for the AGP and PCI busses is variable as well ... These are the options: 3/1, 4/1, FIX PCI 33, FIX PCI 37.5 and FIX PCI 40 - fixed PCI? Neato.
TechJunkie have an article about the suitability of Linux for a desktop/gaming PC.
Dan has been playing with some trebuchets. That's right, medieval seige weapons. These are desktop sized, though, so you can't actually fling cattle etc with them.
Tweak3D have a guide to making a quiet but fast aircooled PC, thanks Hadamona.
Wokket noticed trial versions of .NET available for download from Microsoft.. dialup peeps need not apply, but handy for those studying the technology.
Digit-Life have an article on the nForce MCP, covering the audio and video features of that chipset. I reviewed the first non-reference motherboard based on that chipset, the MSI K7N420 Pro, a few weeks ago.
Sniper sent word of a LAN in Adelaide soon.
Apparently this 20mb archive contains new drivers (dated 21 Dec) for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card and work with the Videologic Sonic Fury, thanks Radix.
GameHard have a neat little LCD temp monitor mod posted.
The AMD AthlonXP 2000+ has appeared in Japan.. dang, too late for you to buy it for me for Christmas. But hey, my birthday's in January. :)
Timewasters: Silly ant city flash game from SPG (pretty sure we've seen it before) and loop labs digital sampler for aspiring DJ's, thanks OneEyeDogMan.
