ABIT AA8 DuraMAX, AMD64 PCI-E Chipset Comparison, and more!

Well folks, some of us might be getting a bit of snow tonight. I'm sure some sleet will also make it into the mix. Come on now, it's January and so far the winter has been a dud! I'm looking for a storm right now, but I'm sure I'll be less enthusiastic about the situation when I'm outside shoveling steps and salting the driveway ;)

Modding Boot Camp - Window Cutting/Fitting @ PimpRig

"The first step is going to be deciding what shape window you want. I'd recommend not going for the biggest rectangle you can possible have: too many premod cases are like this, and showing off your drive cages seems a bit pointless to me. I wanted my window to match the fan grilles I'm going to be using throughout the case, so I blew up an image of one until it was the size I wanted."
