Sweet Cube Case Mod
Published: Monday, January 12, 2004 | By: DennisCheck out this sweet case building job.
"G69T, un sogno "ricavato dal pieno""
I'm not sure if the owner fabricated the case from scratch or paid someone to build from prints but the outcome is super sweet.
I think the article is in Italian so bring your translator you might need it.

The Day The Cable Went Down
Published: Sunday, January 11, 2004 | By: DennisThe one bad thing about having a cable modem is that if the ISP screws the p00ch you and everyone else on your node is left without Internet service and no alternative since they rarely offer a dial-up. Well that very thing happened to me this weekend and the outage wasn't just limited to my node but affected the entire city.
Sadly these things happen but when the outage goes for more than an hour (more like 24+ in this instance) I begin to have withdrawals. On a happy note the local bar and movie house helped us pass the time and now everyone is happy.

Join the Ninjalane WAN Party!!
Published: Friday, January 9, 2004 | By: DennisThe Ninjalane WAN Party is back, for this weekend we will be playing UT2003 Bombing Run. This is a new gametype for me but should be a nice change from the regular Deathmatch that is normally running.
Since this game server is reserved for Ninjalane members it will be password protected with the password located in the gamers corner of the NinjaForum. Simply sign in to get the password and play.
I'm planning to jump on the server around 9:00pm MST and will play for as long as there are players.
Server starts at 6:00pm MST Friday and will remain running until 12:00pm MST Sunday. With that let the games begin. -
DFI LanParty NFII Ultra B Review @ ViperLair
Published: Friday, January 9, 2004 | By: Dennis"One of the first things I noticed about the board was the rounded PCB edges. This makes the board so much easier to handle. Also I noticed the motherboard features UV reactive PCI slots and the PCB itself is also UV reactive."
I don't normally say when I dislike a review but this one is just strange and filled with "technical" inaccuracies. Kind of fun to read though.
See how many you can find.
btw, The LanParty boards are not UV reactive just the connectors, chances are the reviewer is commenting on the white stickers that glow under the black light. -

Albatron PX865PE Pro II Review @ HardwareHell
Published: Friday, January 9, 2004 | By: DennisPerdy site though it is unfortunate that you are required to use IE to read it.
"The Albatron motherboard performs somewhere between the Abit and DFI motherboards, no small achievement. These are very impressive memory bandwidths for all three boards, and although the Abit was faster, I am still very impressed by the Albatron."
Lets not forget about the ill-placed floppy connector.
