One of our members, Gomeler, has an interesting hobby which is making custom phase change units. As you probably know, those are the cooling systems that produce temperatures up to 100c cooler than anything else on the market. We're talking about compressors, evaporaters, heat exchangers all in a custom box or case. He just finished a very clean looking v2000 build with a high performance Phase Change system in it.

 Gomeler's Phase Change Build Thread is a good introduction to his work. You'll see pictures and pictures of the man himself. 

I'll go easy here since I know no one appreciates spam. However, there are a couple of sites I think are worthy of mentioning here, mainly since one is mine and the other is my wife's. First up is Birdie Wordie , you guessed it, all about birds and those who love them. Its got significant photo gallery and a user forums. You can take a look around our little world and see some of the woodland creatures that we love.

 Second is a new business I've launched, Jes Pro . It is an online store for discount janitorial and sanitation parts. Prices average 50% off so if you need those items you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal. If not, well, you can respond to this thread and tell me how poor my design skills are. :)

We're heading into the busiest time of year for the big shipping companies, UPS, Fedex, DHL and the USPS (United States Post Office). And for a lot of us that means sending packages all over the country as well as receiving them at our homes and offices. If you are trying to get the best value for your money what should you do?

 We've got a couple of tips that should save you some time. money and worry this year.

I managed to sneak by the first one without anyone making a big fuss, but I guess thats over now. Here's to a Happy Anniversary OCW! Actually, its a bit late as the real anniversary was in October, but I trust you'll let it slide. Haven't you been late with an anniversary card before?

 I'd like to take a minute to recognize all the users of the site, especially those who contribute to the Wiki and Forums. This place would not be around without you. You've taken an idea from my head and turned it into a proper overclocking site thats been able to consistently help people all year. Thank you!

Also deserving of special mention are the one who are folding for a cure. These guys are using their computer's time and their electric bill to support the largest distributed computing project around, Folding at Home. This scientific simulation works to better understand why protiens inside the human body 'fold' they way they do, sometimes causing cancer. I know this is a cause thats dear to many of your hearts and its pretty exciting to say that OCW has broken into the top 1,000 ranking and we're moving up quickly. If you'd like to Join the Overclocking WIKI Folding at Home teamwe've got quite a few people who'd love to give you hand getting started.

Thanks again and here's to many happy returns for you and OCW.
