TechNewsWorld: The Wonders of Computex, VIA, AMD, Intel and Origami
First let me give you a sense of what was on the floor this year. I saw lots of designer cases many with built-in, full color LCD displays in the front which could be used as second displays for Media Center implementations. These looked really cool and the displays have come down sharply in price, making the cases almost affordable. In a number of designs, the cooling fans were huge, with some looking to be about 12 inches across. One fan had built in message LCDs which could flash a preprogrammed lit message while the fan was running.Processor cooling solutions that looked like sculpture were all over the place as were water cooling solutions that looked to be designed for nuclear reactors. There were even a number of new refrigerated coolers which pushed the envelope with regard to how much you can cool an over-clocked processor. LCD displays were everywhere, and I saw quite a few stunning 42-inch displays that appeared to be looking for a home on my wall. I'm glad you can't actually buy any of this stuff at the show. Even with all these products, though, the story this year wasn't the products -- it was vendor drama.
