Here is an interesting tidbit, with the legal battle on between Via and Intel many motherboard companies are shying away from Via's P4X266 chipset until a decision has been reached. So what better way to get your product to market than to finish it yourself.
I get a kick out of the 6 different P4-478 boards using 3 different PCB colors.
The code for which most well respected browsers are based on gets an update :)
"Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. and IBM Japan Ltd. demonstrated a prototype of their wearable WatchPad 1.5 computer on Oct. 11.
Slightly larger than an ordinary wristwatch, the device has a monochrome LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The device doubles as a wristwatch and as a computer running the Linux operating system."
To some this is old news but AnandTech has an article up on Intel's BBUL processor package. Just imagine a processor that is thinner than a credit card running 10GHz+.
The latest offering from VisionTek comes armed with blue heatsinks and fan and looks to be quite a performer. Too bad they didn't finish by coloring the PCB; it would have completed the ensemble.
Water cooling has been gaining popularity in the past few years and now 3D Power, the Morpheus people, are offering a water solution for the new Nvidia Ti 500 line of video cards. Though this is exciting it kind of takes the fun out of it all.
So what does Asus and casemodders have in common? Well if you have the best modded case while using an Asus motherboard you will receive an ASUS Dream Machine.
Of course there are some "catches" so read the rules.
OtakuPC has some details on the XPPCentral Athlon XP givaway tour around America. It would appear that at the first stop one everyone that attended (about 200) got a free Athlon XP processor, motherboard, and heatsink.
This is actually the feature version of the KT266A motherboards from Gigabyte. The stripped down version is located here.
