PC Toys CaseMaxx 610 (green) case review @ MonkeyReview  "I like this case in the sense that it’s a good starting block for building your own rig, and also has the bells and whistles that more experienced enthusiasts will appreciate. Beginners will find lots of use for the internal space, and the case is simple enough to customise on their own and dress it up for success. All-in-all though, this is a great case that is worth the look if you’re looking for a case that provides solid value for the dollar, not to mention the subtle effect of lime-green Eye-candy."

HWZ Sneak Peek : Sony VAIO PCG-TR1 (Centrino) "The VAIO PCG-TR1 is arguably one of the best looking sub-notebook around. We liked it, and we could probably say we love it too. But as we didn´t run our usual suite of benchmarks, we´ll leave our final judgement until we get hold of a proper review unit. In the meantime, we did take a quick look at the PCG-TR1´s visual and audio outputs. Although both the screen and speakers are only pre-production builts and we deemed it unfair to the notebook to actually put it through our usual visual/audio tests, we were already pretty impressed by what we have seen and heard so far."Read more at HardwareZone.

Comta PNW-1 computer desk review @ Designtechnica "The Comta PNW-I L-shaped desk is a pleasant surprise in a market dominated by the likes of Office Depot and Staples. The construction of the PNW-1 is solid and the design is definitely simplistic and modernistic. We like the fact that there are options available when it comes to the color of the wood and length of the table top. The PNW-1 is available through desk4computers.com for $399 including free shipping; a steal if you ask us."Read more at Designtechnica.
