Computex 2012 Hardware reveals!

ECS showed off a few Golden Products at Computex 2012

Usually, one doesn't associate ECS with a brand of any kind of good quality - mostly because you've never met people who actually own one. Both my graphics card and my board are ECS-branded and have been running like champs for the best part of two years. So when the company announced a completely new direction, I had to find out what that was, exactly. Turns out, the company has decided to bring back the Black series in full force with the help of a little Gold.

ASUS' Zeus X79 has...erm...discrete graphics?

What you see is something rather special. Its an ASUS P9X79 Deluxe motherboard that has gone through a Frankenstein-esque transformation. The board is a standard X79 affair up top with support for Intel's Extreme chips on the LGA2011 socket, up to 128GB of RAM, ten SATA ports, two Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, DVI, USB 3.0 and full-on eight-channel audio. There's also a kickass black-and-gold theme and a lot of thought went into the board's design.

Oh, there's also two graphics cards embedded into the board at the bottom. Yeah, I thought you should know that.

Cougar showed off a few new things at Computex 2012 - Link is live at 8PM on the site

A lot of you might have been confused when you first saw the Cougar brand in stores online over two years ago. Reviews were scarce and there generally wasn't much to go on other than the price, the listed features and the fact that most of their power supplies were 80 Plus rated. Brave souls who bought them direct from Pinnacle were pleasantly surprised - its like being recommended to buy a Hyundai Getz and finding that its actually quite a good car for its price. The company also makes computer chassis and a number of fantastic-looking cooling solutions and I'm really looking forward to the day when we can actually buy them without looking around for hours without getting hit on by real, actual cougars.

Enermax had two new chassis at Computex

Enermax has been known for its lineup of brilliant PSUs (I recall a Liberty 650w being a favourite in the NAG magazine about a year or so back) and has created a nice expansion to their current lineup of chassis to choose from - you can also only choose them if you live anywhere that trades nicely with the Dollar, doesn't have guerrillas and isn't called South Africa (for now).
