It looks like Plextor, best known for its optical drives, has joined the crowded solid state drive field with its PX-128M1S 128GB SSD. Today's roundup also includes a pair of motherboards covering both sides of the fence. First up is the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe (also reviewed by OCC here) based on the Intel P55 Express chipset. Switching sides we have a look at the Foxconn A9DA-S which utilizes the AMD 890GX chipset. If you've been thinking about setting up your own home theater system, we have the first installment in a guide which covers component placement.
