The PCDB was pretty busy while I was away. Some recent cool stuff: Boris's cool ducts, marky_boy's great cow PC :), blah's huge wooden crate.. some generally tricked-out machines from eTiMaGo, CrashDummy and gbm13.
A couple of others we've seen before but deserve another mention: DrR0M's awesome supercooled sleeper and I note Randy2 has bumped his speed again, close to a 100% overclock from an Athlon650.
Digit-Life have a big AMD-760 Motherboard Roundup .. oh, how we long for those magical letters "MP"..
Speaking of which, someone over at 2CPU.com is teasing us with a dual athlon board. There's a pic.. I really hope that the back of that mobo is somehow insulated from the case it's resting on.. that'd be an embarrassing thing to have to explain to the vendor. :)
OCMod have made a flow indicator.. useful for those of you lucky enough to have silent pumps in your watercooling rig. :)
Take a deep breath, Rex - I think you've been taking the whole fan adapter thing a little too far..
InsaneWB got their AXIA Tbird 1GHz to 1.7GHz.. not too shabby, but 2.5v core voltage is insane alright.
..while Rauf got his P3 866EB to 1.2GHz.. 185MHz FSB!
A new beta of PowerStrip lets you overclock your GeForce3 apparently..
Another silly note in the MS KnowledgeBase, thanks YYK.
Tarrasque points out this amazing home setup.. hope it doesn't fall on you. :)
Apparently IE6 will have some new security features, thanks Mike.
An interesting (if kinda tongue-in-cheek) look at quantum computing on Nature.com, thanks Tigger.
RuneScape is apparently an online RPG written in Java.. sounds like a serious time-sucker, thanks Shannon.
Lujan says: Thought you might want to know that after installing SP2 from the link on overclockers, My Computer is a lot more stable, with a lot less random crashing. To Stress test it, I played three games I couldnt before, Oni, NFS5 and Diablo II. All run flawlessly now. Cool. Is SP2 out now or still beta? Musta missed that one.
Froodogs says: seems soltek's SL-75KAV-X board wasn't as 'overclocker friendly' as they suggested it to be, since there's a little jumper on the mobo that isn't even shown in the manual as being on the board, which is to turn on the mobo's multiplier adjustment feature. it's completely undocumented by soltek, and it took a bit of poking around to find it... i thought i was just completely incompetent at unlocking cpus... so now it's all sweet
