ASUS Blitz Formula Special Edition Review
InsideHW.com posted a review on the ASUS Blitz Formula Special Edition

ASUS... It is simply incredible how much this IT giant from Taiwan knows the ways of marketing and promotion. However, quality marketing has to be supported by quality products in order to be effective. In this era which we have to call "Core era", ASUS has shown both. However, whenever we claimed that a certain ASUS motherboard was the ultimate Intel Core2Duo solution, that very same ASUS made us change opinions with the first upcoming model (month after month, so to speak). In a word, fascinating!

Anyone that owns a laptop usually has a few accessories. One of the first accessories people pick up is a mouse, even some laptops come with mice. A lot people prefer mice over the touchpad on their laptop and find them a lot easier to use.

Thermaltake DH102 Media/HTPC case with 7" Touch Screen Review
Xtremecomputing posted a review on the Thermaltake DH102 Media/HTPC case with 7" Touch Screen

Well in the end it all comes down to choice really, there are quite a few Media/HTPC style cases on the market with built in touch screens so as a consumer we are spoilt for choice. I would like to have seen a better airflow in this case, although it’s only a few Celsius difference, with a high end GFX card this could change. I could go on about the over spray inside the chassis as well but that would be nit picking as you can’t see it once assembled..

AMD Phenom 9900 Review
OCC has published a new review of the AMD Phenom 9900

Well all the benchmarks have been run and the results should speak for themselves. I am impressed with some aspects and disappointed with others. I'm very disappointed that I could not overclock the Phenom 9900 and both motherboards that I have in my possession are not working as well as they should. I am going to have to revisit this CPU when all the bugs are worked out. What I am impressed with is how well the Phenom did compared to the Q6600 in the scientific benchmarks; remember the Phenom has half the shared cache, at 2MB, but is clocked 200 MHz higher than the Q6600.

ASUS DRW-2014L1T LightScribe DVD writer Review
Elite Bastards posted ASUS DRW-2014L1T LightScribe DVD writer review

Dual-layer DVD media is supported with write speeds of up to 8x, DVD-RAM support is available up to 14x, DVD + and - R are supported at up to 20x while + and - R/W are supported at 8x and 6x respectively. Moving on to old school CD support, CD-R writing is available at up to 48x, with R/W support at 32x. Of course, it's worth remembering that many of these quoted speeds are in fact variable during the writing process, thanks to the use of CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) and the like, so you frequently won't be seeing these maximum speeds throughout the writing process as we'll see shortly.
