Review Roundup: Lian-Li Xbox360 case, Vaio TT and Archos 5 get mixed verdicts

• CrunchGear’s John Biggs reviews PC case maker Lian Li’s XBox360 enclosure. It’s big, metal, $80, and surprisingly pointless: “an insurance policy against future overheating.”

• Laptop Mag got a Sony Vaio TT, the replacement for the TZ series. Though it starts at $2,000, Sony sent them a $4,344 model, making the review hopelessly academic. Guess what–they like it! But they don’t like the tag.

• Gadget Lab praises the brilliant screen of Archos’s model 5 Internet Tablet. Too big for a small pocket, with a glitchy Linux-based operating system, it has no mic, so you can’t use it as a VoIP pone, and they swapped out the classic Archos design for the standard issue boringadget look. But it’s fast, and the part that matters — the display — looks great.
