We round up this year's CeBIT tradeshow looking at the best of those that didn't make our news feed last week. We've got products from Akasa, Asus, BFGTech, CoolIT, Cooler Master, Corsair, Gigabyte, Lian Li, MSI, OCZ, Seasonic, Tagan, Zalman and more!

Any chance you could chase Lian-Li about the xbox 360 case? Release date/prices/is that X on the side removable?

Bindibadgi · 10th Mar 2008, 11:16

It's all still prototype stuff - nothing is final.

Tim S · 10th Mar 2008, 11:17

We've been "on the list" for one since CES too

DougEdey · 10th Mar 2008, 11:19

But they must have some kind of ballpark date? 08? 09?

kenco_uk · 10th Mar 2008, 11:29

Wow, Rich. Well done.

I like MSI's 'Ride the Digital Rainbow' roffl.

Dolby's LED TV's sound very cool. It's something I'm certainly wanting to see with my own eyes. I wonder, with the new Lian Li cases due out, whether the prices will drop on the V1000 and V2000?

Smilodon · 10th Mar 2008, 11:52

I just love some of the new Lian Li cases. They look really good!

But what's up with the jumpers on the Biostar board? Jumpers are just SO 90's!

KMS-oul · 10th Mar 2008, 12:00

Lian-Li making a 360 case is an interesting Idea but with the the unreliabilty of the 360 I wonder how many people would buy one since it would void the warrenty. Then again the case is really aimed at enthusiasts who are more than likely have a few notes to burn..

Spaceraver · 10th Mar 2008, 12:00

Well, If the LiLi X2000 Case is tall but not that deep ill have it.. Tho that depends on the asking price per se.

yakyb · 10th Mar 2008, 12:12

the akasa case has been around for years (minus the frontend) its a great case but could do with a fair amount of tweaking before it becomes an excellent case

ryanjleng · 10th Mar 2008, 12:13

great coverage.

yeah PSU is a high margin business, everyone seems to be jumping into it. great for consumer.

Lian Li tall case is a extremely attractive but will cost a couple of kidneys

The new Vs will replace the current ones I think - end of line stock may go down in price.

Yakyb - It's been tweaked for CeBit, certain features have been improved even if the look remains the same.

Doug - I just emailed LiLi, will let you know if there's anything to report.

Good point, but then how do you explain the lead that plugs into the other side to feed the PSU it's juice?
