It's going to be a VERY busy four days :|

 

For MSI I'd like to know there plans for stirling engined coolers, is it just a tech demo or do they plan on releasing mobo's with the coolers on, are there any plans to scale the cooler up and make a CPU version? would it be possible to get the tech to operate at lower temps?

 

Lian-Li and whether they are going to improve their stock availability in Europe. There is plenty of stock, but only on some models, not across the whole range.

 

Same question I'm going to ask DFI.

The usual answer is often out of their hands to some degree - it comes down to distribution channels if they're plentiful in other areas of the world. If they've thin on the ground everywhere the company is having production issues.

 

HEAR HEAR!

Also, Foxconn about when the MARS is going to be avaliable!

 

What, because all these places aren't enough?

 

Oops. I thought It wasn't supposed to be avaliable until April. Oh well.

 

Are you thinking of the Black Ops?

 

Shamino should be at the Foxconn booth with his new boards

 

Must be that one then

 

Can you ask Gigabyte if they have any plans to release a linux version of the power management software for their EP35 series of mobos?

 

done!

 

abit - any plans for an AMD 790x/FX mobo?
& whilst you are at it how about 780G & G33/G35 mATX?

 

Could you ask DFI if they have plans on releasing a current (or next) generation intel based SLI board?

Maybe also pry nVidia about licensing SLI support to other chipset manufacturers.

 

They have a 790i (1333Mhz, DDR3, Tri-Sli) board coming soon....: Article Discussion

 

How much is Corsairs new 1kw PSU going to cost?

and

is sapphire going to produce a different model 3870 or anything?

just curious about those two.

 

You could ask Corsair what sort of capacities we may be seeing in usb flash drives from them this year, together with price/availability.

 

The News article on Bit-Tech a few days ago said ~£150.

 

To EVGA or BFG....
Get as much info on the nvidia 9800GX2 which is even meant to be shown at cebit!
Eg: what clock speeds will they be shipping at and the cost of the card it self?

Thanks Bindibadgi!!!

 

I don't think you'll get much out of them until the day of the launch. NDA's and all that.
