7 - Zalman

Zalman

Of course Zalman was present at Computex as well. It's clear that though they are promoting it, my initial doubts about the technology seem to get validated. Less Stereo monitors were being displayed at Computex than compared to the CeBIt exhibition back in March.

Stereo technology, although real fun, has been arround for many years, yet never took off. I hope I'm wrong, but it has been here for years, yet it might just not kick in at all. I doubt their sales are good enough. Well, we'll see.

Definitely new though is their PSU range. It seems that if you sell hardware even as simple as a USB stick these days, you must sell PSUs also. Guys and girls, worldwide there are 4 or maybe 5 PSU manufacturers. The inside can be opted in to and changed a bit, but the biggest differences are to be found extrernally and connectivity wise. My feeling is that the market is getting too saturated. Enough said.

Kick ass, man! Look at that chassis, it's the new GS1000. I'll definitely try and sort out a review sample on this one. Nice!

I hadn't seen this CPu cooler before, it's the CNPS 9900. 100% copper heatblock, nickel plated, little heatpipes in there .. extremely silent. Good stuff.
