Antec is showcasing a broad palette of products at Computex 2024. This year's offerings are quite extensive, featuring a wide range of PC cases, power supplies, and fans to meet everyone's needs. Among the new products, the Performance 1M SFX case and the SF850X 80 Plus Gold PSUs stand out as particularly appealing for those interested in small form factor builds. However, there's something for everyone in Antec's lineup.

The Antec Performance 1M is one of the main attractions with its compact SFX format (424 x 175 x 260 mm) and interesting integrated features, such as the semi-dual-chamber design. The case is built with aluminium on the outside and steel framing on the inside, supporting Mini-ITX motherboards and SFX PSUs. Notably, the riser to connect the graphics card to the motherboard is included.

In addition to a couple of interesting PC cases that will be coming later this year, Lian Li also brought some cooling products and other accessories to the Computex 2024 show floor, including the new HydroShift LCD AIO cooler, as well as new UNI FAN fans and Strimer cables that come with support for Lian Li's new wireless controller for PC case accessories. Lian Li also announced its collaboration with SignalRGB, launching a beta version of L-Connect 3 software, which will provide users with better and easier way to control lighting effects across all components, and it both looks and works pretty good as far as we could see at the show floor.

The new Lian Li HydroShift LCD AIO cooler, will only be available only in 360 mm size, at least for now, and come in three different versions, HydroShift LCD 360S, HydroShift LCD 360RGB, and the HydroShift LCD 360TL. The difference between the three models come in terms of radiator and fans, depending on the usage. All three feature a 2.88-inch IPS 480x480 resolution screen with 500 nits of brightness on top of a 72x72x59 mm block. The screen itself will support the aforementioned L-Connect 3 software, which can then show all the data.

ASUS today announced the unveiling of a groundbreaking lineup of displays at Computex 2024. These all-new monitors include the stunning ProArt Display 5K and 8K professional range, flexible ZenScreen displays and wellness-focused ASUS VU displays.

As expected, Lian Li has unveiled a couple of new PC cases at the Computex 2024 show in Taipei, including the LANCOOL 207, LANCOOL 217 featuring a wooden aesthetic, and the O11 Vision Compact. All three new cases pretty much follow the recent trend in PC case design, but also giving it a recognizable Lian Li twist and, of course, and the quality we learned to expect from Lian Li.

The LANCOOL 207 is an interesting PC case as it is basically a Micro-ATX-sized PC case that can accommodate an ATX motherboard, which is quite a feat. Lian Li actually lowered the motherboard tray while moving the PSU to the front. In addition to supporting an ATX motherboards, it also supports up to 360 mm AIO at the top, up to 410 mm long graphics cards, and up to 160 mm long PSUs. The LANCOOL 207 supports up to two 140 mm fans at the front (two 140x30 mm ARGB fans with infinity mirrors are bundled), three 120 mm or two 140 mm ones at the top, two 120 mm above the PSU shroud (also included with the case) and single 120 mm fan at the rear. The front panel gets two USB 3.0 and one USB 3.1 Type-C port, alongside audio jacks and the power button. The LANCOOL 207 is coming in Q3 2024 with an expected price of $79.99.

The partnership between Antec and Ayaneo has resulted in a new handheld device called the Core HS, marking Antec's debut into the handheld gaming market. Similar to Ayaneo's Slide, the Antec Core HS is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor and comes in two models: white and black. The device is available with either 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage or 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage (LPDDR5X and M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 single-sided SSD).

It features a 6" 1080p IPS floating screen with 368 PPI, 400 nits brightness, and an adjustable angle (up to a 30-degree tilt). The device includes a full QWERTY keyboard with RGB backlighting and Fn function keys. Connectivity options include WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The device is equipped with a 46.2 Wh (12000 mAh) battery and a new 3 + 2 triple copper tube cooling system. These units will be priced between $600 and $900 USD and will ship with Windows 11.

It's all about keyboards in Akko / Mons Geek's Computex 2024 booth, where they have on display the full range of mechanical keyboards already on sale, the new M1 V3 keyboard, new Pro switches, an all-wooden keyboard (case and keys), the premium Year of the Dragon keyboard, and a prototype all-resin keyboard. MonsGeek's M1 V3 mechanical aluminium keyboard with magnetic switches is the newest model available in a 75% format with 82 keys, featuring a multimedia control knob and extended color options. From Akko's side we have new the V3 Creamy Purple Pro 5-pin switches (priced at $0.22 each), standing out with a 3 mm total travel (2 mm pre-travel) and a 30 g operating force. With a 55 g tactile force, these switches offer smoothness and precision with a distinct, smooth sound.

Alseye, the Chinese maker of AIO/air coolers and PC cases, had an interesting display at Computex 2024. The company's main showcase was the massive AIO cooler selection with some exciting pump/CPU block combo designs. A star of the show is the company's i360 360 mm AIO water cooler in white. It features a real-time information display of CPU and GPU temps on its CPU block, which resembles the look of a car's turbocharger. With a pump speed of 3200 RPM and fan speeds of 800-1800 RPM with FDB bearings, the i360 should be a quiet implementation. It also comes in an i240 240 mm radiator version with support for AMD and Intel platforms.

One of the standout products at Computex this year is the TRYX Panorama SE, an AIO liquid CPU cooler with an innovative 6.5-inch AMOLED curved display on the pump-block that wraps around the front- and side, with an eye-pleasing 1080p resolution. You're supposed to orient it in such a way that its side faces the front of your case, and hope that this portion of the display isn't obstructed by tall memory modules. Perhaps the latest crop of motherboards with DDR5 CAMM2 slots has the answer to this problem.

The curved display and its panoramic edge lets you create anamorphic illusion effects such as the ones you see in buildings with large curved displays. The cooler uses an HDMI connection to your graphics card, and can be made to display just about anything. The Panorama SE comes in 360 mm and 240 mm radiator sizes, and in white- and black trims. The display is embedded in its own L-shaped breakout module that floats over the pump-block. The actual pump-block is somewhat cylindrical, a small 60 mm fan ventilates the pump motor and the heat dissipation chamber.

Chieftec brought an impressive lineup of SFF gaming PC cases, power supplies, and AIO liquid CPU coolers to Computex 2024. We begin our booth tour with the Visio, a cube-shaped ATX case with a pillarless front-left corner. The case is wide, and vertically partitioned, so you orient the PSU sideways. Since the right-side compartment has ample Z-clearance, the case should be a boon for those planning builds with backside connectivity (ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, GIGABYTE AORUS Stealth, etc). It supports up to three radiators, with a large 360 mm along the top and bottom; 240 mm along the side, and 140 mm along the rear. The motherboard tray offers 41 cm clearance for graphics cards. The Visio Air is essentially the same case, but with a mesh intake along the front panel, instead of glass, there's no pillarless edge with this one.

The Pro Cube 2 is a Micro-ATX cube-shaped case with its motherboard tray oriented along the plane of the base. Its front panel is dominated by a large 200 mm fan, with its vent giving the case the appearance of a subwoofer. Inside, there's room for graphics cards up to 32 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16 in height. It's not just the front, a 200 mm fan is also strategically located along the top panel, providing exhaust ventilation. The case folds open along the front- and top panels, like a truck's hood. The Apex Snow is a conventional mid-tower with a large trapezoid front mesh intake with preinstalled RGB LED fans. and a horizontally partitioned internal layout. There's room for motherboards as large as EATX, graphics cards up to 40 cm in length, and large radiator mounts that include 420 mm x 140 mm along the front, 360 mm or 280 mm along the top; and a 140 mm rear. Four ARGB fans are included.

Raijintek brought an impressive lineup of new products to the 2024 Computex. We begin our tour with the Raijin, a pro-grade keyboard in the 87% TKL format. The keyboard features magnetic key switches for faster response time, and more accurate actuation. These are capped by PBT+SUB keycaps, with support for various keycap industry standards. The top- and main body panels are made of aluminium. Each key is individually illuminated by addressable RGB LEDs. This is a purely wired keyboard, with a type-A to type-C adapter being included.

Raijintek also brought three new lines of PSUs to Computex, the lineup is led by the Cerios white series, which comes in several medium-high wattage. The model shown was 850 W. It offers 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency, and fully modular cabling. The Ampere Bronze ATX 3.0 series comes in several medium wattage, ranging from 550 W to 1000 W, with 80 Plus Bronze efficiency, and 12V-2x6 connectors on some of the higher wattage models, such as the 750 W one shown here. The Ampere Platinum series PSUs are from a whole different league, with high-wattage models, such as the 1200 W shown here, and 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency.

Handheld gaming devices are a dime a dozen these days and more and more companies are joining the fray on almost a weekly basis. At Computex, XPG was showing its upcoming handheld gaming device—currently known as the NIA—and it has several interesting features that most of their competitors haven't mentioned so far. The potentially most interesting feature that XPG has implemented is an LPCAMM2 module with support for up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x memory. XPG didn't list how much RAM the NIA will ship with, but 16 or 32 GB seems like the logical choices.

The device will be powered by AMD's Phoenix APU, but no details were given. XPG has implemented support for foveated rendering, which the company claims is an exclusive feature. This is courtesy of a front-facing camera with eye tracking, but it's unclear how exactly it'll work, since it won't be exactly the same as in a VR headset. The NIA will ship with an XPG Gammix S55 SSD, which is an M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive with sizes of up to 2 TB. XPG also claims that the NIA is built for a "circular computing product lifecycle" whatever that means, but we're guessing it has something to do with using recycled materials and being recyclable. The screen size of the 1080p, 120 Hz display wasn't mentioned, but the screen can be tilted for better ergonomics and is supposed to deliver up to 500 nits brightness. The NIA also has a built-in kickstand.

Wooting are the pioneers of of analog keyboards—keyboards where a keystroke isn't a 0 or 1; but rather quantifiable based on the key travel. The keyboard can measure the travel of a key in increments of 0.1 mm. Besides the numerous applications of such a technology in gaming and creative work, the keyboard also allows you to configure the exact actuation point of each key—something a regular "digital" mechanical keyboard can't. The new Wooting 80HE is an 80% version of the original Wooting One, and has all the keys you'd expect in a TKL (tenkeyless) layout. Every key is individually RGB illuminated. The keyboard's electronics support 8000 Hz USB polling rate, for a 0.125 ms response time. The Wooting booth had an instrument set up, which could let you see the actual analog motion of the keystroke.

At Computex 2024, QNAP drew attendees' attention with their booth showcasing the QSW-M3224-24T 1U rackmount Ethernet network switch. Designed as a cost-effective solution, this switch boasts an impressive array of 24 10G Ethernet RJ45 ports, specifically catering to storage nodes like NAS that need to be connected to it. QNAP's emphasis on providing a comprehensive networking solution was evident from the switch's support for a suite of their proprietary technologies.

One of the key features highlighted was the QSS Pro 4.0.0 L3 Lite system management software, which streamlines network administration tasks. Additionally, the switch offers IGMP snooping capabilities, enabling efficient handling of AV-over-IP configurations. QNAP's Qfinder Pro utility further simplifies network management by allowing administrators to easily locate locally attached QNAP devices by their IP addresses. Notably, the QSW-M3224-24T also supports multi-chassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) technology, ensuring network redundancy and enhancing overall reliability.

At Computex 2024, Neo Forza showcased its latest innovations in memory and storage products. One of the standout products unveiled was the CUDIMM, a DDR5 memory module tailored for advanced computing applications. With capacity options ranging from 8 GB to 48 GB and a data rate of 6400 MT/s, the CUDIMM promises to deliver high bandwidth and low latency, making it an ideal choice for gaming rigs, servers, and workstations.

Another highlight was the Thoth 5 Series, a state-of-the-art solid-state drive (SSD) lineup that prioritizes exceptional performance. Available in various form factors and capacities up to 7.68 TB, these SSDs boast read/write bandwidths of up to 14,000/8,800 MB/s, along with impressive random read and write IOPS. Designed for data centers and enterprise environments, the Thoth 5 Series combines speed, reliability, and endurance.

At Computex 2024, DarkFlash, maker of PC hardware and accessories, unveiled the DY450 and DY450L computer cases. The DY450 and DY450L boast a versatile design that supports ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX motherboards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of builds. While the DY450 offers ample interior space with dimensions of L451 x W258 x H491 mm, the DY450L takes it a step further with slightly larger dimensions of L451 x W258 x H568 mm. Both cases feature a sleek front I/O panel equipped with USB 3.0, Type-C, and HD Audio ports, providing seamless connectivity and immersive audio experiences.

With 7 and 9 expansion slots, respectively, and support for 90-degree installation, these cases offer unparalleled versatility in component placement and arrangement.

We've seen a lot of motherboards with the power, SATA and USB connectors on the rear at Computex this year, but Chinese Maxsun decided to put the PCIe x16 slot on the back of its Mini-ITX MS-Terminator B760BKB D5 motherboard. This might seem like a crazy move, but with the right chassis, this means that the graphics card won't need a PCIe extension cable, while fitting in a compact chassis. It's also become increasingly hard to retain signal integrity over ribbon cables and with PCIe 5.0, it might be impossible. Another added benefit of this design is that the board also has a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot available for something like a 10 Gbps network card or just about anything else you'd want to plug into a compact PC.

The overall board specs don't really stick out from the crowd, as the Intel B760 chips is a somewhat limiting factor as well. In addition to the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, the board also has a pair of PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe slots—one on each side of the PCB—and a slim SAS connector using an SFF-8654 connector. In addition to this, the board also has two DDR5 DIMM slots, four SATA ports, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, a DP 1.2, an HDMI 2.0 port, a USB Type-C port of unknown speed and WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The power design consists of a fairly basic 8+1+1 phase setup. We'd like to see this board design to become a standard, as it makes a lot of sense for the SFF market to allow for a better placement of the PCI x16 slot to allow for a more compact chassis without having to compromise on the choice of graphics card.

MSI has become something of a major player in the gaming monitor market and the company had a range of new OLED and QD-OLED models on display at Computex 2024. Let's start with the biggest buzzword model, the MEG 321URX QD-OLED which MSI claims is the world's first true AI gaming monitor. The so-called AI engine is supposed to help gamers lose less with features like AI Skysight which scans the game's mini map in real time for threats and then points them out to the player. There's also the ability to display certain stats on the monitor's "SpectrumBar" which is an RGB light strip below the monitor. Looking at the actual specs we find a next-gen 31.5-inch, 4K QD-OLED display panel with 240 Hz refresh rate and a 0.03 ms grey to grey response time. There was no mention of any HDR certification for this model.

Connectivity wise many of you will not be happy to see DisplayPort 1.4 as the main input, although it also has two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB Type-C with DP Alt-mode support that also offers 98 Watts of USB PD charging, one USB 2.0 Type-B input, two USB 2.0 Type-A outputs and a headphone jack. KVM support is part of the package and MSI states it has improved the cooling by using a graphene film and a custom heatsink so the QD-OLED panel should run cooler than competing products. The MEG 321URX finally comes with OLED Care 2.0 which MSI claims will "significantly reduce the chances of OLED screen burn-in" according to the information provided at the show. According to TFTCentral, it will cost US$1700, but there's no availability date as yet.
