    It's NOT a commercial product! :p ;) It's Foxconn marketing itself as a "leading engineering company".

    regardless, seems like a waste of engineering R&D $ (engineers could do to chop the design e-peen, even I'm a little guilty)

    I'd rather see a preview of something that is closer to something we'd actually buy, like a board with all the features we want and none we don't with a good price, or some sort of innovation that doesn't involve steel desks or something you can lock your midget friend inside for fun. :wallbash:

    Geez, that case it tacky. Looks like a better-designed Apevia or Raidmax case. :hehe:

    Tbh, this show is seriously boring - there's hardly anything new. Foxconn are doing a heavy marketing push is all it is and I have tried to cover news of products people might actually like to buy rather than "OMFG LN2 OVERCLOCKING!!11oneone" ;)

    How many P45/9800 GX2s/new cases/new PSUs do you want to see? :(

    You've been good to us, Rich and we appreciate it. We're all chipping in to buy you a hooker before you come home :thumb:

    We do appreciate all you do for us bindi, and while I'd like to see something new, I just was stating that its depressing that most companies use the LN2 OMGWTF massive case R&D excuse, rather than actually showing us something we can really get excited about.

    I've covered the EAA Airventure a couple years running for the local airport club, so I understand what you mean when you chase after anything new rather than the same old crap year after year.

    The only thing I like about that case is the front door

    the rest is ugly
