BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Sony Blu-Ray Burner (BWU-100A)

Sony's BWU-100A represents a significant leap in storage technology. The BWU-100A offers relatively mediocre Blu-ray recording performance, but it's really a tool for content authoring. It is suitable for high-end home-theatre systems, too, but the price will deter most movie buffs. Overall Sony has created a typically well-mannered product that covers all the bases - CD burning, DVD recording and Blu-ray movie playback, as well as Blu-ray disc recording. The downside? It's pricey (expect similar drives to cost half as much in a year or so) and there's still the pesky Blu-ray versus HD-DVD question, which may take several more years to iron out. For enthusiasts looking for Blu-ray playback on the PC, it's a good start.

Trusted Reviews looked at the Logitech MX Revolution Mouse

Designed for the right-hander only, the left side features a large thumb shaped groove with rubber gripping moulded into shiny black plastic. The main body is finished in a fetching dark grey matt plastic, whilst the right hand side is cut of one large piece of black rubber with small indents for the fingers. One hesitates to call a mouse sexy, but this is as close as you’re likely to get. Certainly, all the elements come together beautifully. Even the charging stand is neat and plugs into the mains so your mouse charges when you’re not using your PC.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Spire VertiCool 3 Heatpipe CPU Cooler

Spire has done a great job with the VertiCool III in regards to its cooling ability. It holds up well against some pretty good competition while bringing a bit of its own individuality to the table. The addition of a fan speed control device will allow the user to dial in just the right noise-to-performance ratio for their particular hardware and environment. It doesn't have any fancy lighting or other visual enhancements, just great performance.
