These days, those who don't own an MP3 player are somewhat becoming the minority. Boasting more accessories than an R&B artist, MP3 players are becoming quite a fashion statement. We require these portable jukeboxes to be stylish, light weight, and attractive, whilst giving us the envy of all our friends.

When most people think MP3 players, they think iSomethings... Thats a bit to obvious, lets try *Pods. Whilst the *Pod might have the majority of the market share, there are other players on the market, such as iRiver, Samsung or Creative. Here in lies the question; are the compeditors offerings as good if not better than the market leader? 

Today TechDomain gets to take a look at the Creative ZEN Vision:M MP3 / Video player. Will this neat little gadget stick it to iPod? Lets take a look and find out!

Hellgate: London was released in Australia on the 31st of October, 2007. I was interested in this game as I had read that the developers had previously worked on titles such as Diablo 2. Expecting something similar to Diablo, I was a little surprised to find that the game was more of a dungeon hack & slash with only a small amount of outdoor areas. It is still however more of a RPG than an action game.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, TechDomain now has a new test system!

In the past we have been limited by our ability to test the latest gear, which has undoubtably slowed this site down somewhat. Take a look at our system and be sure to support those companies that support this site!

RPG's have been done before. I mean really - before I even had a computer I was playing D&D and various spin off games at school (yes for all you young ones... Dungeons and Dragons appeared long before it got ripped apart and reformed for online play). Since that time there have been literally hundreds of games that fit within the "RPG" genre, with the most notable recent one being Oblivion.

Today we take a look at something that has the potential to be a fresh outlook on the slightly tired RPG scene. Does Depths of Peril live up to its promise, or is it another clone that will end up gathering dust on your HDD?

In the past, most CPU coolers have been a bit of a trade off. If you had high performance, you also had high noise. Likewise, if you had low noise, you often had to put up with a bit of heat. The good news; is that these days things have changed. The advent of heatpipes has made it possible, and quite easy, for cooling manufacturers to effectively remove heat from the CPU.

Based on the excellent Noctua coolers, the Coolink Silentator comes complete with a Coolink SWiF 1202 120mm fan, as well as mounting clips for a second. It is available with a full range of socket compatibility, with mounts available for Intel Socket LGA 775, AMD K8, and AMD AM2 CPU's.

Already this cooler is shaping up nicely as an excellent product, and should be a short list contender for your hard earned dollars - or is it?

Find out in this review as we explore everything there is to know about the Silentator.

P.S. This cooler is up for giveaway! See the link at the end of this review for full information.

If you are really keen on overclocking your system, are a low-noise addict, or are looking to try something different, then you at some stage are going to be seriously considering water cooling your computer.

There are several different avenues to explore in regards to watercooling. There are your entry level all-in-one kits, that tend to provide marginal (when compared to other water cooling systems) performance and noise reduction. You can peice your own "kit" together by buying individual components, which though more difficult then other watercooling solutions will probably provide the best results if done correctly. The third category belongs to complete kits. These kits tend to be made up of individual items, but packaged and sold together as a complete kit with (hopefully) everything you need to watercool your computer.

One such kit is the Swiftech H2O Apex Liquid Cooling Kit. In this review, Techdomain explores in depth the makeup and performance of the H2O apex kit.

I have to admit - I am totally stunned. I had heard that these fans were quiet, but in truth, I had no idea how good they actually are.

Technology has moved at an increasingly fast rate in recent years. 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit computing, dual and quad core cpu's and amazing leaps in the way that images are displayed. One thing that has stood relatively still though is the world of cooling.

Basically - for air cooling at least - you dissipate heat by attaching a big lump of metal to the source of the heat, and then use a fan to cool that big lump of metal. This is all well and good, and it is even quite effective and cheap. The problem you get though is that all those fans spinning can detract from your overall computing experience just by the sheer noise they make. Enter Noctua - a company using technology at its best to keep things cool, and keep things quiet!

This review takes a good look at the Noctua NF-S12 120mm Fan, and the Noctua NF-R8 80mm Fan.

Thanks to the good folks at Thermalfly, we at TechDomain have had the chance to take a look at the F1-IACSHA CPU cooler.
 
While being relatively new to the cooling market, Thermalfly has come up with quite a few cooling solutions that have begun to rock the boat in the industry, most of which boast a build quality that has been largely unseen for some time. Featuring four heat pipes and a near pure copper base, the F1-IACSHA is already looking like a serious contender. Read on, to find out more!
