Tt eSports Interview - Why Do you Guys Sponsor Tastosis?We caught up with Eric Brinkley from Tt eSports to find out what's the deal with creating gaming peripherals in collaboration with casters rather than pro players. It turns out the answer is pretty obvious. - Transcend ECC Memory Quick Tip - Computex 2013E277
Transcend ECC Memory Quick Tip - Computex 2013ECC Memory - So this may not be like many other videos we release about Computex due to it not being focused on any flashy new hardware but I couldn't help but point this out as I have this question from time to time - I realize this is a very quick and dirty explanation and leaves some important clarifications out but I hope it at least clears the topic up in a general sense. - Gigabyte Gaming Motherboards OC Force, Ultra Durable Series - Computex 2013E278
Gigabyte Gaming Motherboards OC Force, Ultra Durable Series - Computex 2013GIgabyte had a HUGE lineup of gaming grade and overclocking motherboards on display including an overbuilt mITX FM2 AMD motherboard that can be used for LN2 overclocking! - Gelid Wing Slim, VGA Cooler, Router Cooler - Computex 2013E279
Gelid Wing Slim, VGA Cooler, Router Cooler - Computex 2013Gelid Wing...If you have been an avid watcher of Linus Tech Tips you may know Linus has a not so secret love for Gelid Wing UV fans - and now they have slim option which is great with all the compatibility issues people have been having with tall RAM kits. - AIO Systems - Computex 2013E280
AIO Systems - Computex 2013This system from AIO was definitely interesting, As I said in the video I have seen a few mods done like this, some were more elegant and very well done and some were more ghetto but still functional. It is an interesting idea although I worry about the cost on a shipped unit like this. It is not available in NA yet but I am excited to see its MSRP once it is. - ASUS PQ321 4K LCD, Memopad 302/HD7, Transformer Book Trio, Zenbook Infinity - Computex 2013E281
ASUS PQ321 4K LCD, Memopad 302/HD7, Transformer Book Trio, Zenbook Infinity - Computex 2013ASUS' booth has the MUCH anticipated PQ321 4K 31.5" monitor on display as well as their new Memopad 302 and Memopad HD7. The Transformer Book Trio and Zenbook Infinity are also extremely cool looking! - Plextor M6 Series - Computex 2013E282
Plextor M6 Series - Computex 2013Plextor M6 was a surprise to me as not that long ago Plextor released their M5 Pro Xtreme drive. Plextor is well known for their enterprise grade drives and I can't wait to test this drive as it will be the first SSD to be tested through my new and improved testing methodology at the new studio! - MSI Mpower Overclocking Z87-G65 GAMING GTX 780 Lightning - Computex 2013E283
MSI Mpower Overclocking Z87-G65 GAMING GTX 780 Lightning - Computex 2013MSI showed up in full force for Computex 2013! In their booth we check out the Mpower Z87, Xpower Z87, the Z87-G65 GAMING, and we get to stare at a box that supposedly contains the completely re-designed GTX 780 Lightning! - ECS z87h3-ax, z87h3-a2x and Mod Men Competition - Computex 2013E284
ECS z87h3-ax, z87h3-a2x and Mod Men Competition - Computex 2013While gold really isn't my style if you want to be a "blingin", sorry... I had to say it, this really isn't a bad option. If you have put your spinners, cane, and fur coat away in the closet you can go with the red and black option as well ;) - Xigmatek Midgard 3, Nebula, Aquila - Computex 2013E286
Xigmatek Midgard 3, Nebula, Aquila - Computex 2013The XigmaTek Midgard 3, Nebula, and Aquila from Xigmatek were definitely not something to pass up. While things like wireless charging can be implemented in other ways it is nice to see a company bundling it up into an elegant solution like the Midgard 3. Innovative solutions like fans automatically turning off when covers are closed are also always welcome in my mind because advancing hardware is a good thing as we don't want to become stagnant. The Aquila was interesting because it felt like deja vu, although depending on how strong the supporting arms are it may be a very intriguing case indeed. - Ducky Shine 3, Year of the Snake, Mini, and Backlit Zero - Computex 2013E287
Ducky Shine 3, Year of the Snake, Mini, and Backlit Zero - Computex 2013Ducky Shine 3, Year of the Snake, Mini, and Backlit Zero were all pleasant surprises.

The VN279LQ is a slim bezel 27" LCD, the Wireless Duo expands your mobile device storage, and the Xonar Blu Ray Station acts as a Blu Ray writer AND an external sound card. - GALAXY GTX 780 SOC, GTX 770 2GB SOC White EditionE291
GALAXY GTX 780 SOC, GTX 770 2GB SOC White EditionGalaxy 770/780, and many of their previous cards, cover a nice little niche as I get many questions about white PCB graphics cards. More and more people are starting to realize that the look of the back of your graphics card is quite important if you are going for a really good looking build - If white is your colour look no further - Topre Type Heaven - Computex 2013E292
Topre Type Heaven - Computex 2013Topre Type Heaven was another pleasant surprise - Topre has traditionally been at a large price premium when compared to other keyboards but that is not the case with the type heaven. This is a very intriguing product because I expect it to send waves through the mechanical keyboard community as long as it can get its name out there! - Gigabyte Windforce Titan & Aivia Uranium Wireless Gaming Mouse - Computex 2013E293
Gigabyte Windforce Titan & Aivia Uranium Wireless Gaming Mouse - Computex 2013Gigabyte showed off their completely over-built Windforce cooler that allows NVIDIA-based graphics cards running GPU Boost 2.0 to run at maximum speed all the time.

THAT was a mouth full! Silverstone had an awesome showing at Computex this year but if I had to chose a favorite I would say it was the evaporating liquid cooler... that thing was way too cool. - Zalman Zalbar Dash Cam, Qi Wireless Phone Charger - Computex 2013E295
Zalman Zalbar Dash Cam, Qi Wireless Phone Charger - Computex 2013The Zalman Zalbar and Qi charger are both very interesting products. While definitely not being first to market in these areas it is great to see a company like Zalman making moves in this direction. As stated in the video I really appreciated the fairly slim form factor of the Qi for GS3. Cases GS3 are notoriously large due to the curved nature of the phone - so breaking from this stereotype even in a small way was refreshing. - BitFenix Booth Prodigy M, Ronin, Shadow, Colossus M, Phenom M, Recon, FLO Headphones - Computex 2013E296
BitFenix Booth Prodigy M, Ronin, Shadow, Colossus M, Phenom M, Recon, FLO Headphones - Computex 2013Bitfenix showed off an unbelievable amount of stuff including the Prodigy M, Ronin, Shadow, Colossus M, Phenom M, Recon, and FLO Headphones... - Avermedia Live Gamer Portable Firmware and Software Updates - Computex 2013E297

Their M8 series ITX barebones gaming machine with BMW design was knocking them off. This is a seriously cool machine! - Lepa HDB 420, P1375, Chopper - Computex 2013E299
Lepa HDB 420, P1375, Chopper - Computex 2013Lepa is a direct partner to Enermax and due to this has a fair amount of overlap especially in the sector of fans. With the advent of low power draw components like Haswell I wonder just what level of system it will take to utilize 1700 watt's of power! - Acer Iconia W3, Aspire S7, Aspire R7, Aspire S3 - Computex 2013E300
Acer Iconia W3, Aspire S7, Aspire R7, Aspire S3 - Computex 2013Acer's booth included their new 8.1" Windows 8 tablet, the Iconia W3, as well as the updated Aspire S7, and the all new Aspire R7, which has the touchpad above the keyboard!
