I've resurrected my Beeb recently and got into Repton 2 again, which rocks, as they say:-)
I liked it much better than 1 and 3 (with the annoying fungus). Also ELITE of course.
Another favourite was Labyrinth, which featured a bizarre screen mode using remarkably only four colours to simulate many more with pixel patterns. Very cool game.
There are many great Beeb sites out there, particularly 8BS.com - see also my list of (mostly) Beeb games
Nice concept! Hopefully it will send out a wake up call to other case manufacturers that heatsinks shouldn't be kept cooped up inside warm cases, they should be outside the box. It's only common sense really - hi-fi amplifiers have used them for years, so why not PCs?
I'd like a 4U rackmount ATX version of the
Hush MiniITX case with a single 120mm 1500rpm air-intake fan instead of all the extra heatpipes the Zalman uses (to keep costs down) - just have one heatpipe for the processor (possibly another for the PSU) and use a cool-running graphics card and hard disk; maybe also a quiet 120mm exhaust fan to help cool the other components.
I thought this topic would be raging by the time I got home! At least 3000+ comments by now.
I suppose everyone is too busy practising their Lunar Lander technique and brushing up on their orbital trig calculations, hoping to be one of The Chosen...
If you're in the UK, Studiospares supply all the bits you need to bolt rack gear into your own housing, such as rack strips of various heights, nuts and bolts, and pre-made cases & flightcases by Buster Cases.
Note their directions to get the right width between the rackstrips:
Distance between vertical side supports should be 486mm. This provides correct alignment of the holes and leaves a 450mm opening.
Or you could go for a Designer Rack, even if just for ideas:)
I was lucky to save a server cabinet from the skip at work. At the risk of Slashdotting myself... it's here.
That site also has some nice MPEGs of said clouds, as well as other cosmic stuff like aurora and the Moon. Worth a look, and with only 21 comments so far, this/. article is probably not going to make the front page, so I think he's safe from a Slashdotting;)

This case first appeared on Slashdot last summer, linking to an article (auf Deutsch) with much better pictures.

Microvitec CUB monitor used with my BBC Micro Model B, from 1983 I think. Nice metal chassis, none of the cheap plastic of 'modern' monitors.
Just loading up ELITE now... ;-)
