Asus ARES HD 5970 4GB Review
Neoseeker posted a new review for the Asus ARES HD 5970

If you are looking for the fastest graphics card around and don't mind dropping $1200 to get it, ASUS has the fix for you. Their latest graphics card takes the reference design of the HD 5970 and increases the on-board GDDR5 memory up to 4GB, adds dual HD 5870 graphics cores each clocked at 850MHz, and a custom made cooling solution to create a product that will blow though any game with ease.

Antec Sonata Proto Case Review
TechwareLabs has a review of the Antec Sonata Proto Case

Even though primarily known for their chassis, Antec has already expanded their influence in different direction with quality hardware. Their chassis are usually very unique and we have reviewed such cases by Antec before. Everyone likes to show off their cool cases with unique designs but that's not everyones goal especially in budget builds.

The all-new Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-900 eBook reader improves upon the previous Sony Readers by adding one huge feature: wireless downloading.

Google Voice Review
Computing on Demand has posted a new article, 'Google Voice'

If anyone knows me, they know I play with things for no reason, that is my nature. With that said, whenever I find something that I haven't used, haven't heard of, or could find any reason whatsoever to try, I will. That is the case with Google voice.

LiteOn iHES208 Blu-Ray Combo Drive Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the LiteOn iHES208 Blu-Ray Combo Drive

At VH this is an area that we have only recently begun delving into and our 2nd review today is occupied by another LiteOn drive. This time it's the turn of the iHES208 - an internal drive with X8 Blu Ray functionality as well as offering a 'combo' DVD-RW and CD-RW. Whilst we appreciate that DVD media is still holding the crown of popularity, Blu Ray is slowly gathering attention. Part of the fact that DVD remains the default media choice is due to Blu Ray devices still costing a premium. Just like most new technological advancements, the cost to start with is always going to be high. SSD's are a great example of that. But there is good news, Blu Ray devices are beginning to drop in price as the market embraces such technology which is great news for consumers.
