J&W Minix 785G Mini-ITX 785G-SP128MB Motherboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to build my HTPC in an APEX MI-100BK SFF case.It does what it says it will do.Temps can get high in a small case - be sure to ventilate well.Chokes on the bottom of the board were hitting the case floor - fixed with a couple of small washers.So far so good.Blu-ray and HDTV record/playback is a breeze.Adobe Flash HD creates lots of heat, even with 10.1 beta, but it plays smoothly.

LG Electronics 10X Internal SATA Blu-ray Disc Rewriter WH10LS30 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this drive to burn video blu-ray discs and watch movies.This is the best drive I have seen on the market at this point in time.It seems to be compatible with all discs (no coasters yet).The drive is quiet, easy to install (depends on your PC and knowledge of installing hardware), and easy to set up.The software to burn and watch movies is included.Mine came with a free BD-R to get started.Just make sure your PC has the correct hardware to handle HD or this drive is not for you.

Depending what video editing software you have, after the burning the video to the disc, the video quality is amazing!All of my discs work on my stand- alone player and my PS3 slim.This drive won't let you down!

DIGISTOR 5.25" Blu-ray Burner Slot-Load SATA Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you search for slot-load blu-ray burner solutions for your desktop, there are very few options out there.

Fortunately, I found DIGISTOR's solution. It's actually a Panasonic slot-load blu-ray burner designed for laptops, but the 5.25 casing and circuitry solution is all DIGISTOR.

It work's like a charm when I replaced my aging DVD burner -- I transplanted that off an old system when I built my new Intel i7 quad core PC. Now my new system is sporting a super sleek slot-loading Blu-ray burner courtesy of DIGISTOR.

Been using it for 4 months now, on a Windows 7 OS. No issues, no bad burns so far.

I also use DIGISTOR 25GB BD-R Media, Silver Surface Disc (25 pack) for my back up needs.

This one was definitely a good buy.

DIGISTOR External Blu-ray Burner (Slot-Load) USB 2.0 Powered Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this DIGISTOR Blu-Ray burner for my HD videos. I am a semi-professional videographer and I record some of my shoots/subjects/videos in High-Definition. At one point earlier this year, I realized that burning to DVDs just will not be enough for HD content - the 4-something gigabytes just won't cut it.

I decided to get DIGISTOR's blu-ray burner because I got one of their their DVD burners as well - External USB 2.0 Powered 8x DVD Burner by DIGISTOR - and I saw from their website -[...]/Blu-ray-burner - that they had a similarly designed Blu-Ray burner.

The reason I was so happy with the DVD burner was that it did not need a power cord for it. I am happy to say that this Blu-Ray burner is the same - no power cord. I use it for my HD video editing, connected to my PC. I also bring it around, it is very light and portable, on my shoots should there be a need to burn output onsite.

It's plug-and-play, no need for drivers - Vista and Windows 7 supports blu-ray natively. And I have yet to encounter a bad burn on this drive. Something to do with it's battery powered operation, but I also made sure it has enough power for burning, I got the dual USB accessory.

I'm very happy with the product.

Sony VAIO PCV-W510G Desktop (2.40-GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sony's newest style is visually stunning with lots of cool features, but..... the speakers suck.They are way too quiet and they don't have any bass or treble control.Since they market it as a computer/tv, you would think that they would put a decent sound system in it.Luckily, I have been able to hook up an external set of speakers to it, but it takes away from the sleekness and versatility of the computer. It also comes preinstalled with way to much junk software, and no operating system cd's for reformatting.
Given that, I would still buy it because it's fresh new style.The computer itself is really thin and the screen is really nice.It is cool to look at web pages in widescreen format.I would suggest to buy it, but only if you are ok with adding external speakers.

Product Description:
When Sony introduced its "W" series of VAIO desktop computers, it proved that PCs didn't necessarily have to be big and bulky. Sporting a sleek all-in-one fold-open design that more closely resembled a notebook than a traditional multi-component desktop, the W series represented a bright new look for stay-at-home computers. But while the first W units weren't particularly powerful, the latest are. Though not quite up to the standards of Sony's potent Media Center PCs, the VAIO PCV-W510G Desktop combines a fashionable, space efficient sensibility with a huge widescreen display and enough muscle for anyone but hardcore gamers and 3-D graphic designers.
Driven by a 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor and 512 MB of fast PC-2700 DDR RAM (expandable to 1 GB), the VAIO PCV-W510G offers adequate power for most any standard home, home office or business task. However, as in all other models in the W series to date, the unit's 3-D performance remains a weak spot. Its graphics chipset, an SiS 651 with 32 MB or shared (not dedicated) memory, will not efficiently run the latest 3-D games or 3-D animation packages.
Included inside the VAIO PCV-W510G is a combination CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive through which users can burn and play music compilations, archive data to long-lasting digital media, and enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters on the system's surprisingly spacious 17.5-inch widescreen (16.9 aspect ratio) LCD display. TV buffs will appreciate Sony's integrated Giga Pocket personal video recorder technology, which allows them to record their favorite television programs without using videotapes. Music aficionados can play CDs through the integrated stereo speakers even when the unit is closed, and store their MP3s on the large 80 GB hard drive.
Sony has enhanced the VAIO PCV-W510G with a variety of welcome amenities, including a V.90 data/fax modem for low-speed e-communication, a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet interface for high-speed LAN and Internet access, four lightning quick USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals, an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface for outboard devices such as DV camcorders, and a hassle-free optical mouse. The keyboard is of particular interest, as it quickly folds up and out of the way to keep your desk or table free of clutter.
The exclusive bundled software package includes Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 7.0, Intuit Quicken 2004, Microsoft Age of Empires 2, and an impressive array of professional-quality music, video and image editing utilities.
