3R System iCEAGE 120
It is big and it is cool - It's the iCEAGE from 3RSystem. With a 120 mm fan and new heatpipe technology that has the heatpipes as part of the contact base it sure does look promising. Today we will put the iCEAGE to the test and see if it can live up to its name. We'll take a closer look at the Direct Touch Heatpipe design, and see if it does make a difference or not.

ECS 965PLT-A Motherboard – Intel 946GZ Chipset Tested
"ECS (Elitegroup Computer Systems) has been good enough to supply us with its latest model called the 965PLT-A. While the board has “965” in its name, it does not actually feature a 965 chipset. In fact it is based on the new 946GZ chipset from Intel, designed with the new GMA 3000 graphics chip embedded in the northbridge. We plan to test this chipset to see how it performs compared to a 6200 TurboCache graphics card as well as our normal tests with the Radeon X1950Pro. So come have a look at the latest board to cross our labs."

Gigabyte and XFX – GeForce 8600GT graphics cards go head-to-head
"You find yourself wanting to get into DirectX 10 gaming but with only a 17” or 19” LCD you cannot justify spending excessive dollars on an overpowered card. If you are not a huge detail junky, and technology like AA and AF does not bother you, then even the Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS is probably overkill for you. With users like this in mind, Nvidia has come out with the 8600GT, a mid-range card at about 2/3 the price of a standard 8600GTS. A 1/3 price drop equates to AU$100 (US$80), a significant saving for anyone. Two versions are with us today, a silent passive-cooled offering from Gigabyte and an overclocked XXX version from XFX, a company who pleasantly pleased us with its 8600GTS in an earlier review."

Revoltec FightBoard keyboard review
This is my last review on products from Revoltec's gaming gear lineup. Earlier this month I've already published a review on the Precison Pro and Precision Advanced mousepads, along with a test of Revoltec's FightMouse. These products performed pretty well and most of them are available at a fairly low price. In this review I'm taking a closer look at the Revoltec FightBoard keyboard, this is a keyboard specifically designed for gamers. The FightBoard Advanced ships in this blue box which features some tribals. The front has a see-through window and the back features lots of information about this keyboard.

We put it to the test to see how well it overclocks. Read our review to find out.

Cooler Master GeminII
Based on my experience, the use of at least one fan makes the GeminII a top performer. The cooler should not be used passively on any modern processor. It easily beat the Intel stock cooler and also helped cool down the surrounding components on the motherboard due to its ability to accommodate 120mm fans. If two fans were used, performance is likely to be even better, at the expense of your hearing of course; however, if appropriate fans with a good air flow to noise ratio are used, there is no reason why the GeminII can't be a winner.

Logitech SilentSound Noise Canceling Headphones Review
"As the description suggests, there is actually some active science/technology behind how the headphones function. Using Logitech's SilentSound technology, the headphones dynamically adjust to and filter out surrounding noise, leaving you with a quieter environment in which to enjoy your music. Logitech claims their headphones cancel out up to 22 decibels of noise - pretty impressive. This is my first time trying any type of noise canceling headphones so it will be interesting to see if this technology actually works or is just a clever marketing ploy."

Foxconn 8600 GTS
“The previous mid-range cards from NVIDIA (6600 GT, 7600 GT) redefined what was possible in terms of high levels of performance for not too much money, and while the 8600 GTS certainly follows on this tradition, it just doesn't feel as awe-inspiring. While it does change the level of performance you can get for £130, it’s not by a mind blowingly dramatic amount - you're looking at slightly above 7900 GT levels of performance here. Though the 8600 GTS may not be as ground breaking as previous generations, but it certainly brings a lot to the table for the money"

How to Build a Web Server with PHP 5 and MySQL 5 Support
"Building a PHP 5 web server with MySQL 5 support isn?t as easy as it seems. We know this by heart: we spend literally a whole day last week trying to do this. The main problem is that PHP 5 doesn?t come with embedded support for MySQL and MySQL 5 does not provide a separated stand-alone client module ready for downloading and installing. In this step-by-step tutorial we will show you how to compile and install Apache 2, PHP 5 with MySQL 5 support and PHP optimization and caching system (Xcache) on Linux, so you will be able to build your own web server in a matter of minutes ? and not hours like happened to us."

Test Drive Unlimited for PC
"With the next-generation console war in full swing, it sometimes feels as if PC gamers are left behind, especially when it concerns new innovative ideas. Games like Okami or Guitar Hero II just don't exist on the PC platform and instead, gamers have to settle for the typical FPS, RTS and RPG genres. While this is far from being a bad thing, I do wish that from time to time, developers would bring some those unique console games over. Thankfully, Atari and Eden Games have heard my cry for innovation, given that they've ported Test Drive Unlimited over to the PC. And trust me, no need to complain how this is "just another car game", because it's so much more than that."

XFX GeForce 8600GTS XXX Video Card Review
XFX and NVIDA have once again teamed up to bring us another outstanding product in the form of the 8600GTS as it has the right balance of performance versus price ratio. Overclocking seems to be very good as well as the card comes overclocked right out of the box, which is something that will set well with the gamers' community. XFX as always offers their double lifetime warranty, which allows the card to maintain its warranty status through a transfer to one additional person. This is a cool thing if you buy the card from a buddy or someone on eBay who has previously registered the card with XFX.

Nintendo Wii Control Scheme Analysis
In the past, more buttons meant more flexibility and functionality, and the Wii has a controller setup which has noticeably less buttons and control sticks than any of the last generation systems. However, the Wii is unique, in that motion now replaces the functions some of those buttons once controlled. However, some gamers are still skeptical as to whether or not motion can easily translate into an intuitive control scheme for all types of games. Let’s take a closer look as to which genres will benefit from the Wii’s innovation, and which may suffer for it.
