Icemat may be known for their mouse pads, but the company also produces some high quality audio products. We take a look at the white Icemat Siberia In:Ear headset today, which does not only look great and is built very well, but does deliver some very respectable audio performance too.

Today I am going to be reviewing a Northbridge cooler this is something that I personally have never felt the need to upgrade but a lot of people do, especially if their current cooler has a fan and they wish to use something totally silent, like the Nexus NHP-2200 which I will be looking at in this review.

The Thermaltake Mini Typhoon CPU cooler has been out for some time now. They have just recently upgraded this cooler with a value pack that includes 2 50mm fans that attach to the Mini Typhoon and can be angled to cool your memory, northbridge, or other parts of your motherboard. This is a really unique idea, we will have to see how effective it really is. The Mini Typhoon itself features 6 heatpipes, and all copper design, and a silent RX type flow fan.

The MSI K9AGM2-FIH motherboard is a good simple mainstream platform for building an AMD Socket AM2 motherboard. For 2D tasks, like regular office work, surfing the web and the like, this motherboard is a perfectly suitable and quite inexpensive. The onboard Radeon Xpress 1250 videocard handles 2D applications just fine, and is Windows Vista Aeroglass compliant. Better still, the onboard HDMI connector allows the MSI K9AGM2-FIH to output video at 1920x1080 (1080p), HDCP content included.)

The KeySonic ACK-5020U Keyboard arrived Technic3D. More Modding with blue LEDs, seven hotkeys and SoftSkin coating presents Maxpoint. Technic3D will see that in the following Review.

The Steelpad 5L professional gaming mouse pad is an extraordinary mouse pad. The Steelpad 5L is not merely for professional gaming though, the pad handled every task from gaming , graphics, and office applications with no problems at all.

Whether the game is strong enough to defeat the mighty World of Warcraft remains to be seen, and we are somewhat doubtful that it will. LotRO has a dedicated fanbase and is instantly recognisable as a franchise, but whether it'll attract players away from WoW is another matter altogether. But if there ever was an MMO that could snatch the MMORPG crown from Blizzard and claim it for itself, then this is it my precious; this is it.

Like its predecessor, the 42X3030D is a 42in LCD TV with a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, or Full HD as many manufacturers like to call it. However, this TV will happily accept a 1080p signal - in fact Toshiba has indicated that the 42X3030D can handle 1080p 50, 60 and 24 variants, making it very versatile indeed. Of course you can still happily pump 720p and 1080i signals into the 42X3030D, and it will still do a very good job of displaying them - more on image quality later though.

One company that's been in the wireless audio business from the very beginning is Philips, with its Streamium range of products. We reviewed its wireless-music-system-in-a-box - the Streamium WACS700/05 - over a year ago now and it has now been given an update.

Scythe have been making some of the best coolers around for a couple of years now and they have always been rather large and excessive; but very effective. Today I have with me something that is again, rather excessive and with some of the strangest box art I have ever seen; the Scythe Andy Samurai Master.

The demand for ultra-mobile storage and the quick development of flash memory during the past few years has led to the high popularity that USB flash drives enjoy today. Flash drives are rarely supplied from companies who manufacture mechanical drives; they are usually built by RAM manufacturers since they are basically flash memory without any moving parts. Perhaps the most reputable RAM manufacturer, Corsair, is no exception as they are one of the first RAM manufacturers which offered USB flash drives and one of the few which designs their drives to be extremely tolerant to abuse. Today we will take a look at their latest, largest and fastest USB 2.0 flash drive, the 8GB Voyager GT.

The Sunbeam Quarterback is a midtower ATX case with tool-less drive bays and PCI slots, Core Fan system, VGA vent and a side window. The front bezel adds a door that makes the case look as muscular as a quarterback, which definitely adds to its style.

The XTracPads Ripper is the smaller brother of the Ripper XXL. The mouse pad series comes in three different sizes, all with a wide aspect ratio. The thin cloth pad is incredibly soft and comfortable, with the under-padding clinging to the table quite nicely. We give a few mice a hurl on the Ripper to see if the unique aspect ratio is just what a gamer needs.
