Brendon says that the ammo-case PC we linked a few days is nothing, his own ammo-case PC has been in the PCDB for ages.
Griff says that MBM has some new files that let you monitor HDD temp.. cool.
PowerLeap say they have a new web-based utility that can read your computer's vital statistics. It's an ActiveX control apparently, located here.
From Reuel: WETA buys 220 2.2GHz dual Xeon machines. Weta is the company behind the graphics in Lord of the Rings. Volvo's new safety car Sounds good and all but it runs windows 98.
SlCentral send word: Microsoft has identified a problem with running DirectX 8.1 on AMD processor-based systems. Some DirectX 8.1 programs may simply stop working on AMD PCs, and Microsoft has come up with a patch to fix the problem. SLCentral.com has posted the fixed .dll file as well as the entire hotfix. You can read more and download the fix here. You can also read more from Microsoft about this issue here.
OCNZ have a GF4 Ti4200 Roundup posted, while Digit-Life compare a few KT333 SocketA DDR motherboards.
Chainbolt posted info on a liquid-cooled laptop in the forums.
From Gaz: I bet 100s have already told you, but there is an article in the Melbourne Green guide about case modding. The
GTR PC gets a big mention....unfortunately you guys do not. That's despite gatherings for the article being organised via our forums and promoted several times on the news page. Lovely. (Update: Ok, they mentioned us but no URL. Less grumpy now. Not a bad article actually. URL would have been nice tho. :) )
