Why help them? They're giving away free hardware of course! You can read the press releasepress release

Free stuff! Well, if you're the lucky one, then you get the free stuff. Fast-MHz is giving
away an Epson ePhoto 780c. I have one of these and it pretty much sucks. However, it'll
get the job done and if you need 1024x768, it can do it.

Active-Hardware does the Chaintech Desperado AGP-RI70 GeForce 256 and then they post a nice
little article entitled "New Visual Age.": It's based on monitor technology and
it's future. It's actually pretty informative!

Still not tired of hearing about Microsoft's optical mice? Well, too bad! =) Games Xtreme
has a review on the IntelliMouse Optical. I, personally, would not recommend these for
gaming. I don't like the way it feels. I might just have to play on one for a lot longer.

PC Gunk has a guide (kind of) on overclocking a PII 233 to 350 MHz. You might find this
useful or you might not. It's kind of wierd, I guess.

Tweak Town has the a hold of MSI's news release. They are announcing the first motherboard
to support the new AMD Thunderbird and Duron chips. They're giving it the awe-inspiring
name of.. MSI K7T. Disappointed? I was.. Someday I'll make a motherboard and I'll call it
the Big Black Motherboard from Hell. Then we'll see who sells the most motherboards.

3d Accelerated takes a look at a last generation card in the Outrageous Ultra 32MB GeForce
DDR. These are going to be the cards to shoot for now that the GeForce2 is out. Still a
very fast card at dropping prices.

Need a peltier? Time for some Xtreme Cooling? Well head on over to Gaming in 3D because
they have a 55 Watt Peltec peltier review up and running. If you pick one of these up, just don't

Active-Hardware does the DFI AK70. No, they don't do it like that you sicko. Anyway, not
a mainstream board but I've heard these non-mainstream boards to be really good cheap
alternatives. KX-133 chipset involved here in case you were wondering.
