I think this is the first time ive posted news before midnight! So hold on tight because here we go!
First off from our PCDB yet another water-cooled machine, with some clever safety precautions inbuilt.
ViperLair have a guide to setting up Windows XP ICS. "This is a step by step setup of how you get Windows XP to use Internet Connection sharing when you have a Cable Modem connection with the computer connected to the cable modem via NIC (1) and NIC (2) going to a hub (or a crossover cable to the other computer) and then having the secondary computer plugged into the hub also."
Rex one of our case mod'ers from OCAU has placed 4th in a world wide case mod'ing competition with his HQ08 case. Well done and I must say his case is truly awesome.
Microsoft may cripple Office .NET unless users pay a fee! "Microsoft officials have resuscitated the idea that the company will move to a subscription pricing model for versions of its next Office suite, Office.NET or Office NGO. One of the proposals? If you don't pay, expect your Office features to be turned off."
A report from the FBI reports that internet forum fraud is the most common case of net scam so far and it's bound to get worse.
Pacific internet are offering ADSL for what look like reasonable prices, with the option of having unlimited downloads between 1.00 am and 8.00 am and over the weekend, unlimited as long as you don't download more than 10 gig a month during those time periods. seems like a good deal.
Dan has added the Thermaltake Volcano 7+ CPU cooler to his Brobdingnagian cooler comparison. He has one review here and another here. Both those reviews show the different modes of the volcano.
McPcPro are giving away a Tyan Trinity 510 which is shown in this review Cool.
Hexus have taken a look at the Coolcasemods Window Kit. "This isn't a hard mod, but people generally are scared of attacking an expensive case just in case it goes wrong. The results are definitely worth it particularly when combined with a cold cathode light."
The Register has an article about how X-Box could be failing. Some people might be happy with that. As for me, I'm neutral :)
Supermicro have specs up about their quad xeon motherboard (serverworks HE) Cheers Braden
Well another month, another edition of ZZZ It has one of the weirdest "boomboxes" I have ever seen on there.
Agnitum has released Outpost Firewall. "A personal firewall that can eliminate threats from cookies, banner ads, email viruses, spyware, and other Internet dangers. Outpost performs Web filtering to let parents control computer content. Outpost can prevent dangerous attachments from executing. You can get free updates to Outpost by using the program's built-in update utility. Outpost Firewall runs on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Me, and Windows 9x systems." The best bit being, It's FREE!
Technoyard have a round up of wireless networks and bluetooth devices. "... looking at Bluetooth technology as well as 802.11b wireless networking and products in their respective categories."
As always, here is the funny section. How would you like to build your own monorail! Well this guy did, around his house and backyard. Thanks Owen. Or if you need a quick refresh on the ShotGun Rules you might want to have a peek at that site.
