Martin has written a cold-boot voltage selector guide. Useful for motherboards that start with default voltage before changing to the value in the BIOS, like Asus's CUBX. He also says Btw, if you want to know what to do with the integrated heat spreaders you keep popping off your intel cpus all the time (don't ya?), this is the answer.

Dan's cooler comparison has had yet another 5 coolers added to it. Hold me, I'm scared.

Digit-Life have a huge article comparing Pentium 4 2.2 GHz vs. Athlon XP 2000+ on lots of different motherboard chipsets. They also have their 2-part CeBIT coverage here and here.

MrPCPro compared the Tyan Trinity 510 Vs Acorp 4D845A, a couple of DDR P4 motherboards.

Quadbox notes that Mandrake Linux 8.2 is out.

Murray says that here, you can get a Xbox Media Player Skin, picture looks good.

Denis spotted this monster video card from Sun and more info on its dual-core GPU here. According to Ace's Hardware: "the board features 32 MB of PC800 DRDRAM for GPU memory, 72 MB of 3DRAM, 64 for the framebuffer, and 256 MB of SDRAM for texture storage. All told, this totals 360 MB of onboard memory for use by a dual-core geometry processor and a rasterizer chip."

gbm31 has an interesting watercooler while MADMAX has squeezed his PC into a mysterious black box.

ViperLair have an article about activation and how Microsoft aren't as evil as we thought. Or maybe they are. That article doesn't really clear up the evilness aspect for me. :)

Bench-House have an overview of P4 chipsets.

Rick found a funny description of Australia by Douglas Adams (RIP).

HeatSeekerz have some info on serial ATA from CeBIT 2002. This is a future standard for hard drive connection.

PCStats have an article about unlocking the AthlonXP 2100+.. with a dremel (gulp).
