Armari eXtreme Concept Prototype is Liquid Nitrogen Cooled PC Beast

Armari's eXtreme Concept Prototype (XCP) super computer is made of some 100 uniquely designed parts, is either cooled by liquid nitrogen, liquid flurocarbon immersion or thermoelectric cooling and phase change, depending on the model's configuration and has the ability to run 24/7 without needing to shutdown. The XCP will happily function through a temperature range of -110°C to 90°C and being built on Intel's Skulltrail platform, the XCP happily packs quite some power under its Lost in Space-esque hood.

Wheelchair Backflip Makes Truck Backflip Seem Less 'Extreme'


While recently a daredevil was forced to cancel a backflip in a truck because he broke his back doing some practice runs, this daredevil already has a broken back. Aaron Fotheringham was born partially paralyzed from the waist down. I guess he figured risking being fully paralyzed from the waist down wasn't all that big a deal, because he started doing tricks in his wheelchair, leading up to this insane full-on backflip. Sure makes guys that use broken backs as an excuse for getting out of stunts seem less ballsy, no? [Spulch]

Quad FX-ready Towers Keep Your CPUs Chilled

System builders listen up. If you've been eyeing AMD's 4x4 platform, the company has teamed up with Thermaltake to create two Quad FX-ready towers, the Armor Extreme Edition and the Kandalf Extreme Edition. The towers use a Dual-Channel Air Guide to pump cool air from outside directly to the two CPUs inside. Both towers also come with dual 120mm and 90mm fans to keep the rest of your components cool. Pricing hasn't been set, but if you're dying to build a quad-core AMD system, these towers should guide you in the right direction. – Louis Ramirez More »

SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash

Professional and semi-professional photographers are like a Top Gun-era Tom Cruise—cocky and in The Need, The Need For Speed. That's why SanDisk's Extreme IV CompactFlash cars are touted as the "fastest cards in the world" at a read/write speed of 40MB/sec.
