Day 4 started getting hectic, as it was open to the public after midday. We roved around as much as possible, grabbing as many snaps as we could of interesting things.
We jaunted back to hall 2 to check out some more component manufacturers. Just in case you still haven’t got a feel of the grandeur of Computex, check out some of the booths here.
At the Abit stand, the guys from Xtremesystems were running an LN2 overclocking demonstration. Rather than going for records and continuously feeding in Styrofoam cups of LN2, they went for sustainability. This meant they needed a tank roughly six foot tall of the stuff.
Of course like everyone else on the floor, Abit was showing off its X38 board – apparently the northbridge cooler design is going to be something special on the finished product.
Tyan caters very much for the workstation to server end, but this results in some uber-sexy hardware. Feast yon eyes on this motherboard for example.
And of course sexy hardware requires gigantor boxes.
Gigabyte had a couple of mascots out today.

We also picked up some new products that we didn’t on day 2 – Gigabyte’s moving into PSUs it seems, as well as offering some new cases.
It was also demonstrating Intel’s Robson technology – which also proved to be the most impossible product in the show to shoot due to the angle inside the Perspex box. It essentially acts as a cache, which means subsequent accesses of data should be speedier – meaning things like faster Windows boots.
