And the neowin bizarro news of the day award goes to....
Ok so i was looking about at some IT hardware sites (as you do) and came across what is perhaps one of the most bizarre casemod articles i have ever read in my nelly puff and i've been a hardcore geek pc wise since circa 1993.

Some dude has decided to take darth vaders helmet and modify it so that it boots windows 2000. l337! :D

The incredible feat was acheived using a Via EPIA Mini-ITX motherboard and whats even more incredible is that the helmet was not drilled or cut in any way

Check it out over at Burnoutpc.com

Advanced WMA Workshop is encoder/decoder with Windows Explorer-like interface, allowing you to encode WAV, MP3 and OGG files to WMA (Windows Media Audio) format with variety of format settings(from 8000 to 48000Hz, up to 192kbps), convert WMA and MP3 files to WAV PCM format, and also convert WMA files to MP3 format using LAME 3.91 encoder library, convert WMA to OGG Vorbis format, resample WMA files.

Audio formats conversion is performed directly, without any temporary WAV files, this fact means higher converting speed and economy of hard disk resource.

This tool allows you to edit ID3v2 Tags, copy them from MP3, OGG to WMA file while recoding.
