Gigabyte 3D Rocket II Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Gigabyte 3D Rocket II

Depending on your tolerance it may look a bit gimmicky, especially the "fluorescent bands" and copious use of blue plastic and LEDs, but it does include a variable fan controller none the less. That may not be a novel addition but it's extremely useful as you can install it at the front or back of a case. Installation is a bit more than just a pop in for the LGA775 socket, but it's very simple and requires minimal effort. In comparison the AMD sockets just require a single clip and you're job done. However we're still concerned about the reasonably flimsy mounting plastic bracket for LGA775 CPUs if you're transporting the case - the cooler is very tall and as such, top heavy.

Auzentech Prelude 7.1 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Auzentech Prelude 7.1 sound card

So you want a gaming sound card? Creative it is then. Ah, see that's where you are wrong. Creative have recently released their X-Fi chip to Auzentech who have worked their PCB trickery into producing a card with the good aspects of the X-Fi with the window open to use Dolby Digital Live, DTS Interactive, and DTS NeoPC in the future.
