Hitachi/LG BH20L 6x Blu-ray Burner Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the Hitachi/LG BH20L 6x Blu-ray Burner

AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.1GHz Processor/CPU Review
TechwareLabs reviews the AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.1GHz Processor/CPU

In an effort to make the CPU part of the decision a bit easier, AMD offers a broad selection of CPUs, most in the sub-$200 range.
