First talked about at Computex 2008, the newest entry to the ASUS 'Eee family' is the Eee Monitor. This product aims to give you everything you would expect a monitor to provide alongside display. The monitor in the pictures looks to be 19 to 20 inch, has a fixed web-cam, a 4-port USB hub, but what looks rather strange is that this 'monitor' doesn't looks like it has a D-Sub or DVI connector leading us to believe it's a self-contained PC a-là Apple Mac. The connectors behind show an ethernet port, a phone jack, standard sound jacks (line-in, line-out, mic), and the usual power-input. If it's meant to serve as a monitor, it must also double as a docking station, because otherwise there's no reason to have Ethernet and audio ports. The product also features integrated speakers made by Denon. It also features integrated data-card readers.

Spire is showing off a few new cases at the show. The first we have seen in form of a prototype, which was not on public display at CeBIT. It has now been announced. The "Emerald" as it is called, features a metal look and a small "roll" at the top of the case, which holds the front I/O on one side and power/reset on the other side. The second case is aimed at gamers with a "S" theme on an aluminum shield up front. The bottom light up once turned on. Their new hard drive enclosures called "HandyBook" are also ready for retail. Installing a hard drive is incredibly easy, simply open the door, put the drive in place and close it. The units is available for 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA drives. You will also find two new GPU coolers. Both of which may look similar to some others on the market. The smaller one is intended for mainstream and low-end graphic cards, while the larger Coolforce III to the left can be used for higher end GPUs of the Geforce 6800, 7800, 7900 & 8800 series.

Cool IT Systems also has a booth at the Hyatt and is showing off their new single slot cooler for graphic cards. It uses just a single 5.25 inch drive bay and can cool either a single graphic card or a CPU. The general layout and built is identical to the two-bay variant. Cool IT also has coolers for the new GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA ready to roll, as soon as the cards hit the market. These are just being fine tuned, so we are not yet able to show you pictures of the MTEC and heatsink. Expect to see them in combination with the drive bay units in the near future.

DisplayLink has a suite at the Hyatt, just like last year. A lot has happened in the last year and they are showing off a few very interesting demos. The first are two identical Dell office PCs, one with a entry level dual monitor capable graphic card (left) and the same unit with onboard graphics in combination with a DisplayLink USB to DVI unit (left). The same tasks are performed on both systems and the DisplayLink equipped PC uses almost half as much power as the one with the Radeon HD2400 GPU. The much talked about wireless USB version is now also ready 2 go. A Dell notebook is used in combination to the sending unit and the receiving adapter to wirelessly send the needed data to the screen to show a high-resolution movie.But wait, there is more!

AMD tried to pull a fast one and is showing off an unmarked ASUS notebook running an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 at their booth. Why? Because it has the Radeon HD3850 X2. They have removed all stickers on the notebook itself, which has been placed on a desk in front of other AMD based systems. We opened up 3DMark06 when no one was looking and it reveals the Intel CPU. I guess AMD could not get a notebook with their own chipset in combination with the new high-end mobile GPU in time for the show.

HIS is showing off a few new products at the show. The first is a USB to DVI graphics adapter. This unit uses the DisplayLink technology to enable output from a USB connector to a DVI monitor. The units are connected to a notebook. The second item is a Radon HD2400 low-profile graphic card with built-in HDMI support. It comes with 512MB of DDR2 memory and active cooling. Such a unit should be great for a HTPC.

PQI is showing off a set of water-proof USB flash devices. All of which are suspended in aquariums. These units come with up to 8GB and in various colors. The images show the Intelligent Drive i810 Plus, i818 and i828. PQI is also one of the first to offer a 32GB 300x Compact Flash card. You will also find some unique flash drives which come in combination with eSATA connectivity. This should give you better transfer rates and allow for use as a traditional hard drive instead of a removable storage medium.Hit the "Read full story" link for a look at their DDR2 and DDR3 memory

Thermaltake is one of the companies always showing a lot of new stuff at shows. Let's start with their coolers. The first, very interesting looking unit is the "Rotation", which uses a radial fan in the center, with some heatpipes to cool the CPU. The second looks much like a butterfly is called the "TMG IA1" and uses 8 heatpipes in combination with a 120 mm fan. The two new graphic card coolers. The first is called the "SOrb" and comes with active cooling, while the second does not seem to be finished yet, as it does not have a name. A budget CPU cooler right next to it is currently simply labeled as "Heatpipe Value Downward Flow".Hit the "Read full story" link for some more new releases.

XFX is displaying their version of the GeForce 8300 mainboard for the first time. It comes with a heatpipe cooling unit, dual BIOS and post code display by the rear mainboard connectors. The other interesting item is the 750a, which is for AMD as well. This board boasts two PCIe x16 slots, which can be used in an x8/x8 SLI configuration. It actually has the full compliment of expansion slots, while other board out there have one PCIe x1 slot less, as the space is taken up by onboard components.

Zalman is showcasing two new CPU coolers. The large one is called CNPS9900 and comes with a 120 mm fan, while the smaller CPNS9300 uses a 92 mm fan instead. You will also find two new cases, the GS1000 which comes in silver or black and a unit with built-in water cooling at their booth. Two new power supplies (660W and 770W) which use copper heatsinks and heatpipes to cool the components are also on display.

The Denube Gaming Machine Concept is basically four computers in one case, powered by a single power supply.

Noctua and Coolink are sharing a booth once again. Both have new products and prototypes on display. Starting with Noctua, the have various upcoming coolers and fans. The first is the NF-S12B, which will replace the current NF-S12. It features a redesigned blade, which translates into more airflow and pressure at the same noiselevel. The retail version will come with the normal brown fan blades unlike the black of the prototype. The "Sandwich" prototype cooler can hold a 120 mm fan inbetween two arrays of fins, which draw the heat away from 6 mm heatpipes. It is not quite finished yet and the company is working on something special for this cooler, but is tight lipped about any details, to protect itself from "copy cats". Noctua is also working on a new mounting system for their coolers. It will be compatible with any of their units all the way back to 2005 and will be offered as a free or very low cost upgrade to those with the old system.But wait, there is more!

Super Talent has two booths at the trade show. One is located in Hall 1 and the other, larger one is in the new NanGang Hall. They are not showing off to many new things, but there are a few noteworthy items. The first group are their three new Pico A, B, C USB flash drives. These are incredibly tiny, go up to 8GB and manage read speeds between 20 to 30 MB/s. On top of that, all of them are water proof. You can also view their new "Master Drive SSD" and the just announced 1.8 inch 120GB SSD drive at their booth.

Airlive has an open booth at Hall 1. They have all their products on display, including the wireless media unit - now called AirMedia-3000 - we covered at CeBIT. It is not quite ready yet, but Airlive is aiming for a pre-holiday launch. Besides that, there is the VoIP-111A, which - as the name entails - enables Voice over IP with a traditional phone. The interesting aspect is the fact, that calls from one such unit to another is free. So instead of paying SkypeOut, simply use the VoIP-111A. Various routers and access points can also be viewed at their booth.AirLive has a few more items, which are intended for the small business or office space.

A-DATA is showing off their memory cooling solutions. These have changed slightly in shape and the memory heatspreaders have also been redesigned to fit the additional cooling units better. The memory scales up to 2133 MHz at CL9. As you can see, the heatspreader design is black or grey. The latter will be used from now on to further change the X-Series from the other product groups.But A-DATA is also presenting their newest flash memory cards and drives at Computex.

Sapphire also has a suite at the Hyatt hotel. They are showing off the usual ATI graphic cards. You will not see any upcoming models at their suite, as these cards have not yet officially been released. Instead the company is showing off two new areas of business. The first are power supplies. These will be aimed at the mainstream and can handle 625W. The 14 cm fan has either red or white LEDs and the PSU is FireMV and FireGL certified. The second new offering are displays. The first is a 3D capable monitor. which simply has two layers to create the effect with the help of specific "sunglasses". The unit on is 22 inches large, can be used with both ATI and NVIDIA cards and will cost around 600 US Dollars. Another 56 inch display with a massive resolution, intended for industrial and medical applications can also be viewed. It features "quad HD" resolution and will sell in a bundle with FireGL cards.

OCZ is showing off a lot of new products as well. They are now offering gaming memory and power supplies with Fatal1ty branding, with speeds of 1066 MHz at CL5 and 2.2V. The new DDR3 modules with XMP support come with the Core 2 Extreme logo and run at 1600 MHz CL8. On top of that, DDR3 SO-DIMMs are also available in 2GB, 3GB or 4GB kits. Right beside these are new USB flash devices: The Diesel, Spyder and one in a sturdy titanium casing, called Fortress. The latter should be able to take anything you would throw at it in.OCZ is also presenting their new gaming gear at Computex as well. Hit the link below to find out more.

G.Skill has three systems up and running. Each of them using a specifc memory product from the company. The first uses their DDR2 16GB kit, which consists of four 4GB DIMMs running at 800 MHz CL6. The second uses actively cooled DDR3 with 2000 MHz at CL8 and 1.9V. G.Skill also offers a passive heatsink instead of the one with the two fans in the image below. The third uses their "Pi" series, which denotes G.Skills new high end memory line-up. The setup on display runs four 2GB DDR2 DIMMs at 1100 MHz with CL5 and 1.8V. The "Pi" series is also available as DDR3. Their SSD offerings, which we mentioned at CeBIT, have also changed a bit. Instead of the traditional sticker, the metal casing now features a clean G.Skill logo.

NZXT has a suite at the Hyatt hotel, instead of a booth at the show grounds. They are showing off their newest cases as well as a gaming mouse. There are two cases which are currently still in the prototype stage, so we cannot show you any images. Besides these two, there are several other enclosures, which are launching soon or right after the show. The following images show new editions of available cases and new mainstream enclosures, expanding the Zero line-up. The Whisper uses sound proofing and has a total of 10 hard drive bays, as well as a front door.Hit the "Read full story" button for images of their new high-end case and gaming mouse

Patriot is showing off their EPP 2.0 and XMP equipped DDR3 memory at the show. The EPP version comes with some very cool green heatspreaders (NVIDIA) and the XMP version uses silver ones (Intel). These modules run at 1600 MHz with CL7 or 2000 MHz and CL9. The same heatspreaders are used on their high-end DDR2 line-up, but with a black paint job. These modules are available with speed up to 1200 MHz.The company also produces various USB flash drives, which are also on display.You may also try your luck against two girls from the PMS clan at Quake 4. I actually watched the 3 minute matches for some time and not a single guest managed to frag the girls even once. So I kindly declined the offer to try my luck against them.

Even though you will not find any GT200 based cards at their booth, as these have not yet officially been announced, Zotac is showing off a water cooled 9800 GTX. It comes prefilled and is maintenance free. The card is cooled by a 120 mm radiator and the water block is covered by a metal cover with the Zotac logo on it. This cooler has been designed for Zotac and is not a retail product, which has simply been installed on the card. Best of all, the card will only cost around 60 US Dollars more than the air cooled version.Another very intersting card is the display port equipped 9600 GT. Even though this card only utilizes a single slot, this one needs two. It has many connectors available to the user, including a Display Port. This implementation actually works under Windows XP and Vista flawlessly.A mini-ITX nForce 610i based 775 Socket board is also being presented at the show. It comes with two DIMM slots and VGA connectivity, but DVI is possible and, as you can see, there is an area already reserved for such an output.

You will find some very interesting memory products at this booth. They have a 16GB DDR2 800 MHz CL5 kit up and running. It consists of four 4GB, double-sided DIMMs. They already showed a 667 MHz kit at CeBIT, which is already shipping. There is also a DDR3 2000 MHz CL8 pair as well. The memory only requires 1.85V to achieve the rated speed and comes with more elaborate heatspreaders as the DDR2 variants. Winchip is known for offering these spreaders in multiple colors, in this case silver, blue and black. They are also presenting their Compact Flash to IDE or SATA adapters, with which you may create your own SSD drives.

You will find InWin showing off their computer cases at the show, but this little puppy caught our eye. It is the 1500W power supply from the "Commander Series". It has a modular cable tree and a very cool paint job. The unit is 80 Plus and SLI certified. For those not wanting a smaller part, it is also available 650, 750 and 850W. These are actually not as large either, but come with a 140 mm fan and removable cabels as well.

You will find two new CPU coolers at their booth. The first is the UFO V51, which can simply be described as massive. The prototype on display uses two 80 mm fans and four heat pipes. We were told, that the production unit will have the same design, but will be a bit smaller to maintain compatibility. It is constructed of aluminum with a pure copper base. The second CPU cooler does not yet have a name, but also uses two fans.Their new AL and AX power supply series can also be viewed. The AL PSU is available with up to 650W, is 80 Plus certified and is actually semi-passive. The fan stops spinning if not needed. The AX series goes up to 1050W and comes with a modular cable tree. These are also 80 Plus certified.Another very unique power supply is the AC100P series. It is a single output + USB power AC/DC unit. This means that you can not only output AC, but DC as well and can supply power to a USB device as well. This unit is ready for mass production and will cost around 100 US Dollars at retail.

Albatron is showing off their PCI based graphic cards. These use the Geforce 8500 and 8600 GPUs as well as an additional chip on the rear, which translates the PCIe interface of the GPU to PCI and back. These are low profile and feature the usual spec's of their PCIe counterparts and use active cooling. Albatron also offers AGP variants for these cards. Considering the fact, that mini-ITX board usually come with a PCI slot, these should make for some interesting combinations.The company does make other products as well. A 22 inch IR based touch screen monitor can be viewed and tried out as well. It supports multi-touch and should come at a siginficantly lower price as smaller, capacitor based touch screens.Besides these parts, they are also showing off P45 and X48 boards, as well as mini-ITX boards for various chipsets, using Intel G945 and AMD 690G chipsets.
