Wow, cas, thanks for the onsite pics, though I wish I had not looked......makes my rigs and setups look kinda 'Meh'. That black Sapp mobo looks sa-weet! Maybe I should consider a 'Bulldozer' for my next upgrade....

Antec's Booth


Antec celebrates 25 years in the business of producing chassis, power supplies and other accessories and peripherals.


Antec demonstrated the raw power output of its 1200W High Current Pro PSU, which was able to sustain two different systems, each of which had dual high-end graphics cards.


power measurement tool allowed visitors to see for themselves the total power provided by the Antec PSU.


For gamers, the High Current Gamer Plus improves on the original by adding modular cable management to this 80 PLUS Bronze product.


This PSU with a rather interesting exterior design is a mockup of Antec's upcoming 80 PLUS Platinum PSU. It's not yet ready but Antec told us the exterior design is mostly finalized.


The latest version of Antec's Sonata, Sonata IV keeps the piano-like finish of the series. A silicone base helps to keep the internal noise of the chassis inside for quiet computing


This is the upcoming Solo II, which is also part of the Sonata family. There are few details revealed besides the general look, but you can expect more sound-deadening panels and silicone base to reduce noise. You can also catch a glimpse of the new 140mm TrueQuiet fans

Noctua's Booth


Noctua's name has traveled far from its Austria origins and its cooling products are highly rated by reviewers and users alike.


A mounting kit for the upcoming Sandy Bridge-E (LGA2011) processors from Intel. Noctua says that it will compatible with all existing Noctua products since 2005 and will be provided free for all owners of Noctua coolers (proof of purchase required).


low-profile dual-cooler measuring only 66mm in height and designed for small enclosures like HTPCs. It has four heatpipes with 120/92mm dual fans


A prototype triple stack cooler that has eight heatpipes and 20% more surface area than Noctua's current NH-D14. It's designed for either two 120mm or two 140mm fans. The clearance of the heatsink is such that it won't be in the way of memory modules as long as they are 70mm or less in height.


This is a new 140mm D-type cooler, based on Noctua's well reviewed NH-D14. There are 50 fins for better heat dissipation while an alternating fin design means a lower air resistance.

Scythe's Booth


Scythe is a leading hardware manufacturer for cooling solutions in Japan and it has expanded beyond its home base. Their products do have rather unique, Japanese names.


The Scythe Katana 4 CPU cooler has a slanted pipe structure design for best performance.


This is the Mine 2, which is equipped with Scythe's 140 PWM fan and has a mid ship layout.


This is the Mugen 3, which is launching this summer. It uses a 120mm PWM fan with what Scythe calls multiple airflow pass-through structure


A new PSU from Scythe is the Gokuriki, which is 80 PLUS Gold certified and comes in outputs from 750, 850, 1000 and 1200W.
