Lepa HDB 420, P1375, Chopper – Computex 2013

Posted by

Lepa is a direct partner to Enermax and due to this has a fair amount of overlap especially in the sector of fans. With the advent of low power draw components like Haswell I wonder just what level of system it will take to utilize 1700 watt’s of power!

Asrock’s waterproof Z87 OC Formula was turning heads with a live demo of its water-resistance. Their M8 series ITX barebones gaming machine with BMW design was knocking them off. This is a seriously cool machine!

Avermedia Live Gamer Portable Firmware and Software Updates – Computex 2013

Posted by

Avermedia Live Gamer Portable is great and can really ease up the strain on your computer if you want to stream or local record your games. As I said in the video we user Avermedia hardware every week for the live stream and it works great! I am very happy to see the Live Gamer Portable is now able to record in 1080p to the SD card – free functionality is awesome!

Zalman Zalbar Dash Cam, Qi Wireless Phone Charger – Computex 2013

Posted by

The Zalman Zalbar and Qi charger are both very interesting products. While definitely not being first to market in these areas it is great to see a company like Zalman making moves in this direction. As stated in the video I really appreciated the fairly slim form factor of the Qi for GS3. Cases GS3 are notoriously large due to the curved nature of the phone – so breaking from this stereotype even in a small way was refreshing.
