I received this on the weekend from Dean, over at , and I think it's worth passing along to you.

"I just got this from Todd, the honcho from the . This is a very legit way to get help (in the way of funds) to those in need and yourself a kick ass cooler at the same time. and have teamed up to help with WTC and Pentagon disaster. All proceeds of from the purchase of the new Volcano 6Cu will be donated to the Red Cross. Our goal is to sell 1000 units by September 23rd and deliver $20,000 to the Red Cross!"

And to clarify a question before it gets asked. When they say ALL proceeds they mean ALL. 1000 units at $20 each = $20,000. This is a no profit completely humanitarian gesture."

"This cooler has been much talked about since its appearance on the overclocking scene not too long ago for its super high performance. Its array of slim and tall copper fins are the secret to its performance. As a wholly copper cooler, it comes with no fan at all. Actually, Thermalright sells them without any fan, so as to allow the end user to choose which fan to use with it. Some resellers sell them with fans, more often than not, the Delta."

"Just like it's bigger brother, the -6027 uses a solid copper base and the thin copper fin design. The outer case of the HSF serves to direct air and supplies the mounting points for the 60mm fan. The outer case of the HSF is actually made from Aluminum, but coated copper."

just posted the latest news about ABIT's motherboard roadmaps plus some specifications of the eight upcoming motherboards!

September 11th, 2001 will go down in history as a dark day for humanity. With so much senseless death and destruction, our foundation, as a species, has been shaken to the very depths of our being. It is in these trying times when a little light, no matter how small, gives us hope that there is still decency in the World. One of LITTLEWHITEDOG's forum members, Perrito_Blanco, was in Tower #1 of the World Trade Center when all hell broke loose. This is a story of solidarity and absolute strength of spirit; this is his story.

"Then I smelled smoke. This changed things. We had to get out. I got out my handkerchief and covered my nose and mouth. Then I remembered that it was better to wet it so I dipped it in my milk. I suggested to the others to do the same. We pried open the doors again and laid down the window-washer's pole to keep the door open. It was the perfect size. Now we started kicking the hell out of the wall in front of us. It was no use. It was sheetrock, a.k.a. plasterboard or drywall, in 2 feet wide sections with a steel frame around it. It hardly moved. We would have to dig through it...."

"Ok, so everyones heard of the famous Coolermaster cases and CPU coolers but may not be so familiar with their DCD-4002 CoolDriveTM, this is their second generation cooldrive which aims to incorporate some of the end users feedback from their last sortie into this particular market with the DCD-4001."

"The application of thermal paste is usually one of the last steps in the building of a new PC. Being so far down on the list of things to do, it may just slip your mind to acquire some high quality paste. You must avoid, as convenient as it may be, to just settle with the mediocre white goop that accompanies most Heat-Sink/Fan units in the box as the Pentium-4 and AMD Thunderbird need as much help as they can get when it comes to thermal transfer. This is mainly do to the little surface area in which to pull heat from and the simple fact that these processors run HOT. Using a thermal paste that is subject to break down and drying up will only lead to an inevitable disaster. You owe it to yourself and your processor to use the best thermal paste that money can buy."

The Overclocker Cafe' is having another drawing. This time they got a hold of an AMD 1.0GHz Duron (Morgan) processor. Folks may enter daily until Sunday, September 23rd. The direct link to their contest page is:

"We all have seen fan guards laser cut into fancy designs but most are just made from regular ugly sheet metal. The design is fancy, but the materials are not. ZXMods is changing that. They have come up with their own fan guards that have really caught my attention. These fan guards are no plain old guards, these babies come in cool colors!"

"Chai recently tested their top Dragon Orb model - the Dragon Orb 3 which sports a copper core and a 7000 rpm fan! Wow! So, does Thermaltake have a real winner now? Or will the Dragon Orb 3 go the way of the other Orb coolers? Read Chai's definitive review of the Thermaltake Dragon Orb 3 copper cooler to find out!"

PC PowerZone has posted a new article on doing a frameless side window on your case, written by their talented new article writer RIKK.

They also have images of the rest of RIKK's PC60 case modz which are simply stunning

"The PC speaker is also mounted to this lower fan cage. The cage was reasonably easy to remove. There were two small locks that popped out easily with a flat head screwdriver to keep the bay secure. I'm not really sure why you would need these. The ones on this case went into the "screw cup" we all have at home. Our air movement tally is up to around 195 CFM now and this does not count any air sucked out through the PSU."
