After scouring all possible websites covering CES 2010, I was dissapopinted not to see much about PC upgrades. Where did the follwing hide (or did they even bother to show up?): Coolermaster, Lian Li, Silverstone and Thermaltake, (introducing new aluminum cases), Nvidia (showing off their upcoming GT 300), watercooling manufacturers, such as Koolance and many others (promoting new components), Memory manufacturers (showing off new DDR3 4gb watercooled kits with faster CAS latencies), Motherboard manufacturers (pushing new all PCI-E mobos, with the exception of EVGA), USB3 manufacturers (introducing new USB3 peripherals), news from Adaptec Areca, 3Ware and LSI(new SAS/SATA 6gB/sec raid cards), Fusion IO (will their devices be ever bootable?), Micron (C300 pricing and upcoming PCI-E SSD's), Seagate (new 2.5" drives), WD (20K rpm drives with 6gB/sec interface), CETON (with their upcoming cable card tuner), Logitech (new keyboards, mice), and so many other manufacturers that might have introduced new PC sound cards, surround sound speaker systems and USB3 webcams. As a custom boutique PC builder, all these items were sorely missing (or nobody covered them) and, thus, to me CES was a total bust (I am sick and tired of hearing about Atom pocket PC's, Android, IPOD, slates, tablets and other similar items). I wish I had read more about new hardware ..... that is what really excites me
I don't care to sign my life away for a cell phone. Don't want a ebook reader, a tablet or a $21,000 camera or 3dtv. The only cool thing I saw(not being there of course)was the see through oled screen. It looked great but in real use might be very annoying.Oh, I almost forgot all the overpriced netbooks. A real bust for me.
