Today I wanted to visit some of the 1,725 exhibitors I missed and take a closer look at some of the bigger ones. I started at Nangang just like yesterday. Zalman was showing some video games displayed in 3D (glasses required) on LCDs. I think that looked pretty good. There were many companies trying to get the attention of buyers. So there were numerous booth babes and other activities. Abit showcased a Counterstrike game match between the top player in Taiwan and the top player in Indonesia.
Thermaltake had some interesting products. Many of their fans have some kind of LEDs embedded on the blades of the fan and when it spins it displays information like RPM and Temperature. The same company was also showing off a 2000 Watt Power Supply.
I noticed Taiwanese companies are selling double layer recordable Blu-ray discs. So if you have the correct drive, you can burn 50GB on a single disc. I imagine it is pretty expensive though.
There were some wild computer cases around. I saw water cooled, ones with tons of fans, but I liked the trend of big fans. Many cases have a single large fan, maybe 12 inches in diameter or larger. So I think they can run that at a low RPM and move a lot of air without too much noise.
Later I returned to the other location of the show. I saw the main ASUS booth which was very crowded. They were named the top brand in Taiwan this year because of the Eee-PC. I’ve noticed a lot of other travelers using that computer in hostels since it is so tiny and inexpensive. I have to say ASUS had some of the most impressive products, including audio cards and motherboards.
