CaseJunkiez have a guide to tidying up your cables.. so your PC doesn't look like it's been disembowelled by a passing Samurai.

Apparently Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone after all, thanks Gaz.

DeeMan found this System Builders Guide from AMD. Dated May 2002, it has info on installing Athlon and Duron CPU's and what is required of the system in terms of cooling, EMI etc.. very interesting.

Remember that big hubbub about people putting down Jedi Knight as their religion in the census? Turns out they didn't even show up in the results.

TheInq wonder if GeForce has on-chip cache, thanks Cerberos.

CD sent in this chinese review of a hardware DivX decoder card.

Win y'self one of 2 video cards over on TechSeekers.. or some other stuff on ViperLair. Or indeed, win an entire PC in our Folding Giveaway.
