Just a small post for now. *Looks at the clock.. 4am you say?* Here we go :)

3DVelocity have kicked off a month with their biggest giveaway yet. "Up for grabs are everything from laptop bags to free Crucial memory upgrades, GeForce 4 t-shirts to graphics cards and fleece jackets to AMD CPUs." Jump over, answer one question and email the answer. Not to shabby!

Digit-Life have posted an indepth roundup of video cards using 3D Studio MAX 4.26

Bjorn3D has a case moding competition. Which could win you a new eVGA GeForce4 MX 440! "...there remains a hard-core group of PC owners that need more individuality than you can buy off the shelf. Show us your case, and you could win a new eVGA GeForce4 MX 440."

SLCentral has posted an update to their weekly CPU/Memory watch. In this update they list the retail P4 and OEM Athlon XP make the big price drops. PC800 Rambus also falls a couple dollars.

For all the all the window users out there thinking of converting to linux or even just to see what all the hype is about, how bout trying the brand new lycoris distribution designed to "bring linux to the masses" with a very windows like GUI etc.

If you need to find a specific motherboard review, 8dimensional has compiled a 1000+ list of reviews for various boards. All which have multiple reviews. Sweet.

Dan has sent in a top secret mac machine. So secret, no one knows anything about it!

MWP has just put up a new version of CrystalControl V0.91 which mainly consists of bug fixes, but also now has support for the CF633 LCD. Also guides on how to set up parallel/serial LCDs are avaliable.

Not to leave without my funny part, PnP forums have this classic picture of the staff's repsonce when a pretty lady walks through their LAN. Very slick guys. :P Oh and also, Rio de Janeiro takes legal action against the simpsons and the 'Bert and Ernie gay theory' has been put to rest. Thank god for that hehe. Cheers gaz.
