    MSI

    For the past couple years MSI has positioned their booth near the escalators, this location may sound like a horrible place but they have always gotten some great foot traffic.  There was plenty to see in the booth this year and one of the highlights was the hypercolor fans that turned white as ambient temperature approached 45c.
    I wonder what would happen if you accidently dried the video card with high heat? wink smile
    Touch interfaces for BIOS controls have been quite popular in the past few months and while most enthusiasts don't have touch screen monitors you can still control the features via mouse controls.  As a demo MSI had their touch interface running which clearly is just a program interface.

    MSI also added mobile phone support to their popular Afterburner software, during the demo they explained we could be at work and monitor our PC at home.  This is a highly unlikely scenario, at least in the US, but still cool.
    MSI is well known for their motherboards with several classics on display along with a 990FX and the first ever Z68 board with a Gen 3 PCI Express slot.
