Congrats to Tarrasque who won last week's Folding Giveaway prizes.. ZeonX took home a consolation prize, too. You know what I'm going to say.. if you want to be part of it.. get folding! This week's prizes are from GadgetMan, Below-0, CoolPC and Adilam.
Monster-Hardware have some pretty basic case-modding going on.. slapping a window and cold-cathode into their PC. Somewhat more fancy is this LED CPU Meter that works via your parallel port, thanks Dan. If LCD is more your thing, check out Wolfy's guide to hooking one up.
Kinda funny mini-conversation in the news box, Martin from ModFactor saying: ..Visiontek has made a big mistake in some of there GeForce 4 4600 video cards. .. I myself also have a DVi-D not DVi-I connection on my Visiontek GF4 4600 and as everyone knows DVI-I was advertised to be on the GF4 4600 and review sites had DVI-I not DVI-D so it has come to our conclusion that Visiontek made a mistake on some video cards or they ran out of DVi-I for a while and just decided to put DVI-D on the cards. To which Kyle from [H]ard|OCP replied: Yes, it is a mistake on Visiontek's part and they are aware of it. They have made efforts to bring back the cards that went out with the wrong jack. If you CALL their tech support line and explain the issue they will trade you out a card with the right connector on it. It really should be that simple. So there you go. If you have this problem, talk to your vendor or maybe email support@visiontek.com for info on the swap if it bothers you.
Apparently Thermaltake, known for their cooling products, have a sister company called Bluetake. Unsurprisingly, they specialise in Bluetooth (wireless networking) products.. Hexus have a review of one of their kits. Meanwhile, AMDWorld reviewed an MSI adapter.
Here's a cool projector project, thanks Mutanto. Grant suggests building a robot head if home theatre's not your thing.
TweakersAsylum updated their Detonator Performance database, comparing a few new versions.
PCHardware.ro compared GF4 MX440 cards from Abit and MSI.
JATHardware have some link pages you may be interested in: motherboard reviews, socketA CPU reviews and cooling/overclocking stuff.. should keep you busy.
