Computex 2011 Day 1

We visited Thermaltake several times over the course of the show, and for good reason, their booth was awesome. 

The normal complement of coolers was on display including a monster overclocking style that makes the Noctura designs look small. 

This is a quad fan CPU cooler with 8 heatpipes called the Frio GT.  This is still a prototype but we expect it to be released soon.

Thermaltake likes to dabble in the accessory market and one of the new accessories they are most excited about is this "smart" power strip / surge protector that can be remotely controlled by a USB key.  When the key is off it will shut off power to the power strip and thus save power.  When the key is on it re-enables the power strip and allows your system to be powered on.

Normally I leave my gear on all the time but when I'm away on trips I have been known to turn off all of the power strips and this little key would make it really easy to do.

More to see over the next couple days, stay tuned.
