Review round-up This week's no-holds-barred product assessments from around the web...

Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard
"Deserves the title of the best gaming motherboard from Asus. It can be recommended as a basis for an ultimatistic gaming station..." - Digit-Life -
Matrox DualHead2Go
"Not an earth-shattering accomplishment and not that practical for most laptop owners, it can be a great purchase for people who rely on a laptop at the home or office but want more screen space..." - XYZ Computing -
ECS/Elitegroup C19-A SLI motherboard
"A cheap little winner. Your author personally hates how it looks but I'm struggling to think what else is realistically wrong with it..." - Hexus.net -

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser

Samsung LE32T51BX 32in HD Ready LCD
"A comparatively well priced way to join the HDTV revolution, even though the revolution isn't quite underway just yet" - UK Gamer -

"Almost every aspect of this MP3 player is well-thought out and polished, which is why it's a shame that it's all but ruined by a single obvious oversight that will affect 95 per cent of its users..." - DAP Review -
MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard
"One of the better overclocking boards you could have..." - Hard OCP -
