CES 2012: A Glimpse Into The Future

Posted by Lvcoyote on January 22nd, 2012

With over 150,000 people in attendance and 3100 exhibitors vying for their attention, I managed to find my way around well enough to see some of the best that support OverclockersTech with review samples. Crammed into the Las Vegas Convention Center and several different hotel suites around the city, it’s impossible to see everything in the limited amount of time I had available, so I concentrated my efforts on those vendors that most closely match the reviews we publish.

It didn’t take long while walking the different areas of CES to realize the buzz words this year were “Smart” and “Wireless”. Everything it seems is going “smart” these days, from televisions to phones and everything in between. With new wireless technology just around the corner that promises greater access and faster speeds, the possibilities are endless for implementing devices of all kinds to utilize these new technologies.

While it is easy to get caught up in the new electronic gadgets coming out soon, alas we are a computer enthusiast site and I needed to stay focused!

Coolermaster Storm Trooper Case Review

Introduction

Many case manufacturers vie for the title of a ‘Water Cooling Ready Product’ however few actually get it right, many even ‘half-attempt’ this by drilling three holes at the back of the chassis and say it is compatible with Water Cooling. However, the consumer is not so easily fooled and neither are the writers at Overclockers Tech. As far as we are concerned, if the product is unable to accommodate at least one 240mm sized radiator, then it is our opinion it is not fit for the purpose.
