Upclocking a 4GHz to 7GHz Pentium...
Not a lot of details on the cooling system, but an incredible feat... The processor in question is a Pentium 4 670 Prescott, whose speed was designed by Intel at 3.8 GHz. The system used by the Japanese to push things to the limit is built around an ASUS P5WD2 motherboard with two 512 MB RAM CORSAIR PC2-5400UL modules of memory, and the cooling system was ARC Pot Revc.12.1xe LN2; the operating system installed on the system was Windows Server 2003. After the preparations were done, the Pentium 4 670 Prescott processor reached 7132.82 MHz (375,4 MHz FSB x 19). [via] Link.

HOW TO - Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware
Hardmac.com has videos and more- OS X on a PC...The Apple Developer kit version of MacOSX x86 has indeed been fully cracked! An anonymous source has sent us a video showing MacOSX x86 booting natively on a Pc notebook Mitac 8050D (Pentium-M 735/1.6GHz). As you can see the boot phase is rather fast, and the error message at the end is simply due to an authorization error on the kext allowing PS/2 support. [via] Link.

American Modder: Computer Bike Completed!
PC Chopper MOD! In the last installment, I finished the hard-drive activity taillight as well as the wireless keyboard/mouse receiver in one package. I also finished fabricating the side panels for the bike, which is where the hard drives will attach. I also recorded some motorcycle startup sounds with the help of my lovely assistant, my wife. This time around, it all comes together. Yes, this is the extra-long final installment of the series. This time around, the bike will be painted up and assembled, along with some last-minute fabrication. What will it look like in the end? [via] Link.

MacMod – The Atari 2600 Macintosh
Wow a Mac version of our volume 02 PC Atari project! The goal? Turning a vintage 1970’s Atari 2600 game consol into a Macintosh computer, running the latest and greatest Mac OS X. The catch? Try and keep the Atari looking stock, up to a point. Link.

The Freedom Toaster
The Freedom Toaster is a conveniently located, self-contained ‘Bring 'n Burn' facility, where users bring their own blank discs and make copies of the open source software they require. The Freedom Toaster project began as a means of overcoming the difficulty in obtaining Linux and Open Source software due to the restrictive telecommunications environment in South Africa, where the easy downloading of large pieces of software is just not possible. Link.

Next week, when creator Christopher is off the road, CDM will post his Logic Pro Environment file and talk about how you can use this feature for interactive live performances, switching between instruments and effects.

Rich's Liquid PC Project
Rich sent us a step-by-step on how he made a mineral-oil immersed PC. I like what he did in this project, adding bubbles really makes it seem more freaky that the PC is immersed in a liquid and still works. Link.

Makingthings - new projects...
I've been meaning to post this for awhile, the folks from MakingThings have a whole bunch of new HOW TOs and project ideas for their Teleo product. What is Teleo? Teleo is a rapid-prototyping and development tool developed and marketed by MakingThings. It consists of a line of modular and networkable hardware components that can easily be connected to a computer via USB and programmed and controlled using any one of a number of programming languages. Components range from a variety of input and output modules, motor controller modules and accessories. Link. Also, check out the blocks.

Future hacks: Mac on PCs
Apple is moving to Intel, this is good for Makers and PC modders out there. Current Apple hardware and older hardware is about to get cheap(er) and used for all sorts of things. 2. We'll be able to run Mac OS on PCs and Windows on Macs, granted a lot of hackery will be required to make this work for unsupported hardware- but we'll see all sorts of fun projects, mods and mutants once the dev kit and builds start getting out in the wild. Link.

Hand-made Web Server, Built From 200 TTL Chips
Site is getting /.'ed at the moment... a hand-made CPU, complete with hardware address translation, memory mapped I/O, and DMA, out of 200 74-series TTL chips wired together with thousands of individually wrapped wires. By using a port of Adam Dunkels' uIP TCP/IP stack to the Magic-1, it currently serves up live web pages at an amazing speed of 3 MHz. [via] Link.

Science Fiction Case Mod Contest
4 months, $300... case mod is a scale model of a Star Wars TIE Fighter, with a computer built right into the cockpit. And, it's also a desk! The whole case is built from scratch. As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I knew my first mod would have to incorporate something from Star Wars, and I could think of nothing cooler than a TIE Fighter. I got the blueprints online and got to work. [via] Link.

OS in your pocket...
Slax looks like a fun distro, I'm going to take it for a spin this weekend- Slax fits on a mini CDR so it’s easy to tote it around with you. You can take your operating system with all the familiar apps with you to any PC that has a CDRom drive and you can reboot. At your parent’s house with their computer full of AOL and bloat? Pop in your Slax and get some work done. Link.

Greening Your Computer
Interesting electron based ideas for greener computing- With the average desktop power consumption cruising along at 120 watts, and laptops squeaking by with a lesser 30 watts, the global computer power load is enormous. On top of that, the shorter and shorter lifespan of computers, because of wear, and programs' insatiable hunger for more processing power, are making tons and tons of obsolete computers into waste every year. Link.

How to get DOS games to work in Windows XP
Great for emulation projects- There is no DOS in Windows XP! What is called the "command prompt" is not really DOS ... it can be thought of as more of a simulation of DOS. Windows XP (and Windows 2000), unlike Windows 95, 98, and ME, are NOT built on an MSDOS foundation. So, while this makes for better speed and stability, it also makes for sometimes lousy backwards compatibility. Link.

PC Monitor Mod
Dangerous, but cool looking- perhaps adding a bug zapper would be the killer finale...This article over on twisted mods shows you how to cut a hole in a monitor, add a window and glowing light. Windowing a monitor reduces the effectiveness of the ventilation system and therefore can reduce the life of your monitor due to overheating. If you do this mod, it is suggested that you add fans to either side, or to your window, as will be shown in Part II of this guide.Link.

How to turn your dual-monitor PC into a dual mac-PC system
Nice how-to on Lifehakcer using open source app synergy for multi-montoring. There’s one mouse pointer and I can move it back and forth across the monitors just like I was on a single system. While I can’t drag windows from one monitor to the other, I can copy and paste text across and move files easily with mapped desktop drives on both ends. Link.

PC Case Made from PC Fans
This is an interesting way to cool a PC. There are 70 case fans in total, covering over 95% of the case AND THEY ALL WORK! Looking from the front of the case, air flows in through the left side and out the right side. The front an back blow air into the case and air flows from the top of the case down and out the bottom... theoretically anyway. [via] Link.

Homemade Linux Windows Hard Drive Switch
AizeMashu via the MAKE Flickr blog made the coolest OS switch (literally). "I bought a generic electrical switch from Radio Shack and wired it to switch my computer OS between Linux (left,) Windows (right) and boot disc (the off setting.) To get an idea of how macro this image is, the switch is mounted on a 3.5" external drive plastic knockout". Link.
