The biggest asian IT show is about to kick off, here in Taipeh, in less than 24 hours. We are on location once more, to bring you the latest and greatest the industry has to offer. Instead of writing seperate articles on each manufacturer, we will present you the newest and most interesting in form of news posts like this one. This means that we should be able to publish news faster and the review bar up top is not cluttered with articles. As you can see, we also added a Computex logo to this news post. Simply clicking on it, will display a link of the most recent entries in this category.

It will be during Computex that Ikonik Technology will showcase their computer solutions, revealing 'SIM' - System Intelligence Management [which is not based on NVIDIA's ESA]. This world's first software for case management will be the main feature amongst other features on the top-of-the-range cases, boasting the technology intelligence. 'SIM' does not only monitor, but also controls the temperature and speeds of the 13 fans in the case. 'SIM' does not only manage the case but also the performance of the components in the computer. Power users will now be able to optimize and 'control' their components.

The last version of the Gigabyte RAM-disk was a clever invention that allowed it's user to treat up to 4GB of RAM as a hard disk. When people installed Windows XP to this RAM-disk, the result was an extraordinarily fast boot/shutdown time, very nice system response, and speedy file access. Gigabyte has taken to heart the motto of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The GO-RAMDISK by Gigabyte takes the old RAM-disk, which could hold 4GB of RAM and interfaced with a local SATA port, and put it in a 5.25" drive bay. Gigabyte also added status LED's and a battery check button.

There's no word as to when we can start seeing this, but here's a picture of it at Computex 2007.

DFI will be showcasing their LANPARTY X38-T2R board over at Computex next week along with their ATI RD790 based LP RD790-M2R board. Both motherboards are creation of two dedicated and top-notch DFI engineers: Oskar and Jarry. Initially DFI will release Intel X38 chipset based board with support for DDR2 only, because of the highly priced DDR3 modules. Another LANPARTY X38-T3R board that supports DDR3 memories will come later. The DFI LANPARTY X38-T2R/T3R boards also support Core 2 Duo/Quad processors with 1333MHz FSB, two x16 PCIe slots for dual graphics + one x4 slot for GPU physics, 8-Phase Digital PWM and special heatpipe cooling for PWM, MCH and ICH.

PowerColor, Cooler Master and Universal ABIT are in search of a challenger in Taiwan to take on Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, the world's best known professional video gamer, during COMPUTEX 2007. Is this guy human? Can he be defeated? PowerColor, Cooler Master and Universal ABIT want a worthy challenger to give him a run for his money. We will reward the challenger with 100,000 NTD (or about US$3000) if he or she can defeat Fatal1ty on June 5th.
