Tweaktown has a new review - Soltek SL-KT600-R (VIA KT600) Motherboard:

"We've been hearing about the latest and greatest from VIA, the KT600 chipset. Now its time to find out if it can handle the load and earn a coveted spot in your own performance rig. With native support for SATA RAID, DDR400 compatibility and a whole lot more, it looks appealing. Come join Mike "Darthtanion" Wright as he takes a look at the Soltek variety of the new chipset; namely the SL-KT600-R. Its in the kitchen, so let's find out if it can stand the heat!"

Envy News has a socket 478 Chaintech mobo review:

"The Zenith lineup is the pride and joy of Chaintech’s Socket 478 family of mainboards. Targeted at the enthusiast and power user segment, these motherboards arrive built upon the highest performance chipsets at the time of their manufacturing. The name Zenith also carries with it all the extra bells and whistles one could wish for in a motherboard. The Zenith 9CJS is quite possibly the most luxurious of all Canterwood boards on the market."

Bit-tech has a review of the Zalman ZM-WB2 CPU Waterblock:

"The first thing I noticed after opening the package was the weight of this block, at 447g it is very close to the specified maximum weights for the 478 and 754 CPU sockets and quite a bit over the 462 socket rating..."

Moving into a dorm and looking to save space? Then SFF might be for you. Check this out review:

"The PC was probably the greatest invention of our time, but the basic design hasn't changed much since it was invented. You still need three basic things to make a PC; a monitor, CPU and an input device. There has been a lot of effort to integrate the components of a PC to make it smaller and more stylish, but you still have the bulk. Probably the best thing to ever happen to the desktop computer has been the flat screen monitor, but we still have the bulky tower. The best effort to shrink the PC I've seen to date has been what we've come to know as the 'small form factor platform' PCs. While maintaining the flexibility and power of the tower, companies have cut the tower down to about one forth the size. The SFF platforms have been a great success this year, but just how small can we go? Iwill has taken the next step and has created a new PC that is crossed between the compact nature and portability of the notebook computer, and the high power of the desktop PC. Named the ZPC, will this highbred PC be the next big thing to enhance our lives? Let's take a look at the CD drive sized ZPC and find out!"

AMDZone now has a review of one of the LanParty mobos:

"Gigabyte has followed up their first Lan Party Athlon board with another winner. The Lan Party NFII Ultra is one of the most feature packed nForce 2 Ultra 400 boards only surpassed by the Gigabyte. It does surpass it however in accessories, and performance is almost as good. We only await availability of this motherboard, and hope to see more enthusiast class boards from DFI in the future."
