Thermaltake now makes lightbulbs

CeBIT 2008 Amazing designs too
THERMALTAKE HAD ENOUGH good things at their booth to choke a horse. There is only enough space here to cover a few of the high points, and they were really high.
Did you know Thermaltake makes lightbulbs? How about lightbulbs with remote controls? Well, I didn't, but now that I know, I want some.
Thermaltake LED lightbulbs
There are four variants, each with either a 2-pin or screw in base. They are capable of 16 colors and have a remote control to change the color on the fly.
The mine-is-bigger-than-yours PSU race has officially gotten to the point of being silly. No, really, with the 2000W Thermaltake ToughPower PSU, we are at the point that sanity must be questioned.
Thermaltake 2000W PSU
If you didn't gather from the picture above, that is one PSU powering two high end multi-GPU systems at once, QuadFire on top, SLI on the bottom. Should your next system require 6 GPUs and 2 mobos, Thermaltake has the PSU for you.
Not to be left out, there is also a new line of 'green' PSUs called the TR2 ES line. They are 80+ per cent efficient , but we are not sure a 500+W PSU will ever be green in more than name.
V14 Heatsink/Fan
Possibly the most beautiful heatsink out there is the Thermaltake V1 fan shaped fan. It won a Red Dot design award, and rightly deserved it. This year, there is a revision called the V14. It is about twice the size of the V1, is bright copper, and comes with a 140CFM fan. If you want the best looking heatsink out there, this is it.
D104 media centre case
Last year, the D102 was the media center case to have, and now there is a new revision called the D104. It is a full tower case laid on it's side, so it has enough room to mount HDs until you get bored of doing so.
The best part is the touchscreen panel on the front. It allows you to do media center aps without a keyboard or mouse, bringing media centers one step closer to the appliance model. There is also a little brother called the D103, it replaces the screen with a VFD display for lower cost.
Every corner of the Thermaltake booth was crammed with cool new things, we are only scratching the surface of what they have to offer. They clearly take design as well as performance into account, and it shows everywhere. µ
