Maybe I'm out of the loop but when I think of PSU manufacturers, but the name GlacialPower does not come to mind. BenchmarkReviews.com's intro to their review of the GP-PS550BP Real Power 550W speaks pretty highly of them, however: "Some of the players in the power supply industry have made a big name for themselves with a product line full of sparkle, or ultra glamorous design. Others take a different approach and offer the best product they can design at the best price possible. GlacialPower is such a company, and Benchmark Reviews was fortunate enough to shine the light on their GP-PS550BP Real Power 550W Power Supply Unit with series of ripple and regulation tests." Maybe it's worth taking a look.

Bit-tech.net meanwhile have grouped together five heatsinks form Asus, Scythe and Zerotherm. During the tests they find out about the different properties of metals: "Copper’s thermal conduction is better than aluminium’s, but its thermal radiation is worse than aluminium (meaning that it tends to be more reluctant at letting heat escape)." So which heatsink design won out? Find out here.

The weekend is approaching and over at Tweaktown.com you can find out if the Zalman ZM-DS4F dual stereo headphones are good enough to cut out the distractions of children, wives, husbands or mothers. "The design itself is rather stylish, but nothing which really makes them stand out either, though some of you may see this as a good thing. The ZM-DS4Fs can be folded together for easy transportation and this makes them quite compact for when you want to use them on the go."
