THERE'S MODDING, and there's rocking, and then there's sheer hardware craziness. If you want to build a 300 mile an hour rail gun, this is the place to go.

Anandtech reviews a Gigabyte board, here. It supports the Athlon FX51 chip.

More cooling stuff over at Cooltech Zone, which reviews a very weird looking number of a heatsink from Thermalright.

Datafuse.net has got its hands on a Sapphire Radeon 9200 Atlantic PCI, and says that when AGP dies, PCI is likely to be supported. The review is here, with the kit apparently supplied by Bill Donnolly at Pathway PR...

Wanna winna leather jacket? Apparently Creative Labs Europe is giving away a whole lot of such apparel through the kind graces of NV News.
