For a country that celebrates Christmas starting September, the holiday season might not be a jolly one for a lot of families in Mindanao, a big island in southern Philippines. A strong typhoon…

The 20-inch-high ODE Level 3 has a simple and clean look. The plastic window on the right side lets you see the neatly arranged interior: Wires are routed beneath the motherboard tray, and red internal lighting shows off all your components, even in the dark. The chassis is airflow friendly, with a perforated top grate to let the hot air escape naturally, and a liquid-cooling system for the CPU (also by Corsair) and several fans also present. Ports on the top of the PC include four USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, audio and mic jacks, and FireWire 400. On the rear panel you’ll find even more ports, including four DVI-I, two HDMI, and two DisplayPort; eight USB 2.0; FireWire 400; eSATA; power eSATA; and audio jacks. There are also two USB 3.0 ports in the back, but one is occupied by a plug connected to the front-panel port with a pass-through cable. This is common, as cases don’t commonly connect those ports to motherboard headers, but it’s still an awkward and unattractive solution.

Note: Much larger version HERE in case you’re looking for an out-of-this-world (but not solar system) wallpaper.
This is allegedly a real picture (although I have my doubts — NASA) of a massive storm on Saturn that has wrapped around the entire planet and caught up with its tail (the fainter discoloration below the brighter one). Impressive, but my dog does that shit all the time. Plus hock up unchewed kibble on the carpet.
Given Saturn’s diameter of about 120,000 km (72,000 miles) and the latitude of the storm (call it 45°), this monster system must be well over 300,000 km (180,000 miles) in length! That’s three-quarters of the way from the Earth to the Moon.
Crazy. But equally crazy: how the photo was shot dead-on with Saturn’s rings so they only appear as a line. Now that’s nuts. And not little ones like pistachios either, I’m talking some bigass ones — like coconuts. “You’re so dumb GW, coconuts aren’t even nuts — the Coco de Mer is actually the world’s largest botanical nut and can weigh over 60-pounds.” Hoho — sounds like we’ve got a nut-lover in the audience! *teabag, teabag* BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

Thanks to Julian, who’s particularly fond of space because that’s where cheese comes from. Yeaaaaaaaaah, I’m not sure who told you that, Julian, but they are 100% correct! (It was probably me) View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
