There's a Quake 4 tweak guide over on TweakGuides. The guide is rounded out with advanced tweaks which have been tested and work on Quake 4, since some of the Doom 3 commands are different for this game.
A Californian man has been arrested for installing adware on about 400,000 PC's. Among the computers he attacked were some at the Weapons Division of the US Naval Air Warfare Center in California and at the US Department of Defense, the prosecutors said.
AMDboard have some pics and info on a tiny ECS mobo that uses AMD's low-power Geode socketA CPUs.

El Nermo Diablo spotted this pumpkin PC, while Bit-Tech have a guitar amp PC based around Creative's X-Fi. RBMods have a WoW plexi PC project (but their site seems a bit broken at the moment.)
TechReport walk us through building a new dual-core PC for daily use. SharkyExtreme have an extreme gaming PC buyer's guide, while a mid-level PC is specced out on TechSpot.
