Parental controls get a boost with Windows Vista - UPDATE - Video added
With all the games on the market, how do parents ensure their children will only play the appropriate games at the appropriate times? The upcoming Windows Vista will include a slew of parental game controls that will please parents and perhaps annoy their children who want to sneak in some World of Warcraft before finishing their homework. The new OS can track, limit and even stop game usage for little Johnny or, as Microsoft calls him, Toby. Chris Donahue, Microsoft's Group Manger for Games for Windows, stopped by our Westlake Village, California office to show us exactly how the new controls work and how to set them up. Read more

Hi, i am posting here as i need Case Mod advice...cant find a cooling dedicated forum 
I have an Antec 300, with 2 extra Antec 120mm Fans. One is in the side panel and one is in the top HDD slot covering 1 Seagate 500mb drive.
I have no reliable temp checking, my aftermarket CPU cooler is a bit of a cheapy Arctic Cooling 64 (Went overbudget on the build, so saved a bit on that!)
I'm starting to regret that decision now, especially as i have 2 components that are known to run hot:
Powercolor Radeon 4850 512gb - this is the slightly overclocked retail version that has inadequete cooling hence the extra fan on the side panel
AMD Phenom Agena 9500 2.2Gz Quad - Bargain buy at £50 could not really resist! Again this is a component known to run hot, and i will be compounding this by OCing to 2.4 when i find a good temp probe.
What i would like is a 5.25 bay panel that runs temp probes to HDD, CPU and GPU, along with some sort of hub that allows me to run all 4 main case fans (2 pre installed 2 aftermarket) from one Molex pin. All the cases are 4 pin, all have speed controllers with 3 settings. If i was being picky I'd say £30 max (aka $45) with Blue LED display 
Any suggestions appreciated.
