Tomorrow Never Dies was on telly last night and I was commenting on how the mobile phone that controlled the BMW was awesome, why they haven't done it in real life is beyond me (although there would probably be a few accidents if they ever did). Ridiculous to think that in 1963 the gadget of choice for Bond was a pager though." Of course, the best gadget in the Bond universe wasn't even 007's ... Jaws' teeth were the envy of every kid with braces.

Four cores, each running at 2.4GHz, 8MB of L2 cache, blistering speed ... what more is there to say?! Sure, I could have spent more money and got a faster processor, but it wouldn't have been all that cost effective.

At the heart of this project is a Q6600 processor and an ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard. Complete parts list available here.
