Hurling down rain here in Sydney at the moment. Hope that's helping the fire-fighters..

Xoverclocker discovered that life on the edge can bite you sometimes.

Digit-Life have compared Willamette and Northwood P4's at 2.0 and 2.2GHz. They also have their Monthly Hardware Digest posted.

Icrontic compared some chipset coolers from Zalman and Titan.

leperMessiah found what seems to be an engineering sample of one of the first P3's. Czechmate managed to dig up some info on it in the forums.

From Gnuthad: After speaking to Jaycar today, I found out that they will shortly have a new option for UV lighting of case internals. UV neons are available, as are UV CFL (Compact Flouro Lamp), but the CFL are the standard form factor and require 240V inside the case to operate. In approx 4-6 weeks Jaycar stores will have brand new straight UV CFL with optional inverters (extra) in two sizes, 100mm and 300mm. The sales guys said the tubes should only be very thin, about the thickness of a standard CFL tube only straight. pricing will be about $14.95 for the 100mm tube and $19.95 for the 300mm tube with suitable inverters around $12.95 ea. Definitely something to look out for in the coming weeks, especially with Jaycar already selling glow-tube neon UV sensitive tubing.

A linux virus seems to have a new variant, thanks Andrew.

Eddie discovered an interesting thread on Whirlpool where a local council is asking the broadband community if they should be requiring building developers to lay cable conduit, to allow easier access for cabling companies (for broadband, cable tv etc).
