Noctua NH-D14 Heatpipe Cooler Review @ XtremeComputing

"Noctua have a justified reputation of silent, yet powerful cooling. Partnering with the Austrian Institute of Heat Transmission and Fan Technology(!) allows some serious science behind their products, and as seen in the performance of their other kit we’ve reviewed it seems to work. So it is with anticipation that I will be looking at their huge NH-D14 cooler."

Microsoft Zune 30GB Media Player Review @ Bigbruin.com

I have been using the Microsoft Zune for a little over a month now, and I am really enjoying it. I would not recommend it for those who want a super portable media player, but if you want to transport a fairly large collection of audio and video files with you, this 30GB unit can accommodate you nicely. I see it as a good choice for use at work, with a home stereo, or in a car.
