Editondo spotted this article about static electricity, why it's bad for semiconductors, and how nanotechnology can help.
Tyan, more famous for their server-class motherboards, have turned their hand to making a Radeon 9000 Pro video card.. Tech-Report checked it out.
Tim spotted official word from WD that they will cut their HDD warranties to 1 year. The 8MB-cache units will still carry the 3 year warranty, however. This is coming into action on 1st October, which seems to be what the other manufacturers are doing also.
SNTGroup have an article on a HDD window mod.. with video of the completed project working, neato.
Dan has reviewed the RocketRaid 1520 SerialATA RAID controller. I've had one here for a couple of weeks now, but I can't see the point of reviewing it without any SerialATA drives being available on the market yet. Dan's review is more an article about SerialATA in general and an interesting one at that. Gords notes this thread in our forums which has a fair bit of SerialATA info also. Another review of this card here on ActiveHardware.
NeoSeeker have a MSI KT3 Ultra 2 vs Gigabyte 7VRXP KT333 motherboard shootout posted.
Congrats to Hoopstar, who got his HR Holden into Street Machine magazine.. details in this thread in our Motoring forum.
We've seen the coffee-machine PC before, but this article is all about how it was made.. interesting, thanks Gaz.
Simon spotted this online pictionary game.
Digit-Life have posted their coverage of the recent Intel Developer Forum conference.
From Oosh: More on the ABIT video card heat pipe cooler here. It is just a marketing bit but it does give a release date (23rd Sept) for the Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES (i guess OTES is the new coolers designation), interesting how they've obscured the photo in this one.
At the other end of the scale, Phalanx notes this passive cooler for a Ti4200 here, babelfished version here.. from Zalman (sigmacom). Bit hard to read, but the pictures say it all :)
MadMike posted some info in our forums here about the Star Wars Exhibition currently on at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
Sudhian have an article about AMD's recent Barton and Hammer delays.
Kn'thrak points out this Blu-Ray DVD Player discussion and pics in our Audio Visual forum.
