SixDesign have some seriously nice MOSFET cooling on a couple of motherboards. No info, just pics. Various other interesting cooling/milling pics and videos on their site as well.
Here's a very tidy watercooled setup, new to the PCDB.
TechReport have their Computex 2005 report posted, as do Futurelooks.
There's some dual dual core action on GamePC, in the form of two Opteron 275's. Showoffs.
HWZ looked at 10 new products from Seagate.. you can see Seagate's official announcement here.
This Swedish article is, if matselm is to be believed, about how Swedish hospitals have sent a doctor to live in Sydney, while still working for them. Why? Because he'll be awake and alert during their graveyard shift, able to look at X-rays and make diagnoses over the internet, and frolic on our sunny beaches in the meantime. Not a bad idea.
Bregje noticed that 64-bit will come to Sempr0n.. more info here.
MadShrimps threw some dry ice at an Athlon 4000+ to see how it overclocks. AMDZone were a little more conventional with their A64 X2 4800+, using only high-end air. None of that consumer-grade air for them!
Localhost spotted that in a smidge over 4 hours, Creative will unveil their X-Fi Audio Processor, which they claim is the most powerful audio processor ever built. I'm still using the onboard sound on both my laptop and my games box, which probably says more about the quality of my ears than anything else.
TweakGuides are quick off the mark with a BF2 demo tweak guide.
Futurelooks examined the performance of the new ATI Catalyst 5.6 video drivers everyone's talking about, but on a "poor man's" system instead of the usual high-end stuff. Well boo on that because we're looking at what happens when pairing ATi's newly released Catalyst 5.6 drivers with the Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB! Hey.. wait a second, that's the card I've got in my gaming PC! It plays BF2 just fine, too.
Callan found a utility to fix stuck pixels on LCD screens.. interesting. No ideas if it works, but what the hey, it can do no harm, and has had some anecdotal success. Use WindowsMedia player (not Quicktime player), so that it runs fullscreen. - loop, and leave it running overnight. Mighty cool if it works :) We've mirrored the 226KB mp4 file here. Be warned, it strobes bright colours, so if you are affected by such things you might want to give it a miss or get someone else to run it for you.
