Apparently the AOpen comp linked earlier is for Europe and UK only. That sucks. Sometimes we check competition details before posting to the news page, but sometimes due to time issues we don't. Remember that we do get a lot of international visitors to the news page here too. There were a couple of "post in our forums!" competitions in the newsbox today but I just delete those..

There's a streaming radio station being run by a few OCAU'ers and MOS people.. info in that thread.

A few people spotted this insane overclock on Muropaketti - a Northwood 2.2GHz P4 at 3675MHz.. with liquid nitrogen at -200C for cooling, naturally. Scott spotted another one at 3.5GHz.. a heap of crazy stuff going on on that page, actually. VR-Zone have started a database to record these massive overclocks, if you're looking for the current record-holder.

Meanwhile, AMDMB are wondering if we should even bother overclocking anymore.

Freak notes that, apparently, AMD's XP2500+ CPU will be built on .13 Micron technology.

Slo-tech have pics of some interesting waterjackets, spirally goodness. As they say, Za vse modelarje !

New website DigitalDomination have a review of a HSI GeForce2 MX400 video card. Fairly lightweight review unfortunately, with almost no benchmarks and fuzzy photos - hope to see something more substantial from them soon.

At the other end of the scale, Dan has added four more coolers to his immense comparison.. it's almost as big as his cat, now.

Epoch spotted pics of Alpha's EV7 CPU on OpenVMS.org.

There's a fairly detailed rumour about telstra price rises over on Whirlpool, thanks gumbi.
