Mountain dew PC mod
Tyler writes - "In a desperate attempt to alleviate the aforementioned problems, I sat down with my friends and concocted the ultimate gaming machine. Unfortunately, unable to overcome the challenges of bio breaks and real life (without taking steps we would rather not go into at this time) we had to settle for the version 1.0 of the ultimate gaming machine. Hence, the idea of the Dew Mod was devised." Thanks Tom! - Link.

Linux based, 24 monitor, Quake 3...
Best.setup.ever from the gang at Plastk.net - "Here are some videos featuring Quake 3 Arena being played with a gyro mouse (the technology that the new Nintendo Revolution controller will be using) as well as a standard mouse. The resolution of the game is still 10240x3072 and runs on a 24-monitor Linux cluster here at Virginia Tech's HCI lab. As you can see from the videos, I was able to increase the frame-rate and the game is very playable and incredibly addicting." - [via] Link & videos.

HOW TO: Build a quiet home theater PC
Another quiet PC build, this one is a home theater - "There are a lot of Digital Video Recorders on the market right now, some cable and satellite companies will give you one with their service for a small fee. Unfortunately, most of them come with low amounts of storage, sometimes only 20 or 30 hours of regular content. Not to mention the fact that the vast majority aren't network compatible to play files off a file server, they can't run games, they don't allow you to share the programs you record on other computers in the house, and they seem to be almost universally slow." Here is how to make your own - [via] Link.

Homebrew CPU
Bill's homebrew CPU - "Magic-1 is a homebuilt minicomputer. It doesn't use an off-the-shelf microprocessor, but rather has a custom CPU made out of 74 Series TTL chips. Altogether there are more than 200 chips in Magic-1 connected together with thousands of individually wrapped wires. And, it works. Not only the hardware, but there's also a full ANSI C compiler for Magic-1 (retargeted LCC), and a rudimentary homebrew operating system." -[via] Link.
