News of an upcoming LAN in Perth, to be held on the 26th of January. It's only a 50 person LAN, so get in quick. Cost is $15.00 which includes 2 drinks and lunch. Take a look here for more info.

AnandTech have an article explaining the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) and improving GeForce2/3 image quality.

Hmmmmm. *pats his Duron lovingly* This picture is a rather abrupt reminder to use a decent heatsink/fan combo. Bar-B-Que, anyone? :)

If you are running XP, and have "Cleartype" enabled, or would like to enable it, then ClearTweak Version 1 could be for you. ClearTweak allows you to change the contrast of the ClearType setting for Windows XP. Thanks Michael.

Silicon Graphics Inc has transferred much of its 3D graphics patents portfolio to Microsoft. TheRegister have the full scoop. Thanks Duke.

Website Guru3D.com is back online! This is GREAT news as the GeForce Tweak Utility, RivaTuner and other programs such as these, will now have updated releases. Go hard boys :)

Do you live in Brisbane, love playing StarCraft and would be interested in winning $1500.00 for playing Brood Wars? If you answered yes, click here for the info. (Of course, my cut gets mailed to me for supplying you with the link) :)

If you like little flash time wasting thingo's, and don't we all :) , the site with the "Handwriting Calendar we linked to earlier in the week, has a few to keep you occupied.

Extreme Overclocking has posted up a quick and simple fan mod that you can do to your Thermaltake Volcano 7 heat sink to help cool off your processor better. All you need is a screwdriver and a couple minutes of downtime. It's so simple you will be hitting yourself in the head for not thinking about it first.

Creative, (A.K.A Andrew) from our forums, has started an "OCAU 3dMark team". This thread is for people to post their 3DMark scores, and this one is for people to post their various hardware and Windows tweaks. Rather good idea.

If you have seen a cool font used in a movie title or have been looking for some different fonts to use, look no further than here. And this is timely for me, as I was looking for some fonts today and couldn't find any suitable ones. Cheers to Ungrateful Ninja :)
