TechwareLabs Event Coverage: CES2012 Monster Press Conference
This year at CES 2012 Noel Lee of Monster introduced us to the concept of fashion audio as well as an entire new line of audio devices and accessories. Take a look at our coverage of their Pre-CES press event and newest products as well as celebrity appearances.





CES 2012 Day 0 - Press Day - MSI Thermaltake and nVidia @ Ninjalane
Every year CES has a zero day where the exhibits are only open to members of the press, basically to give them a chance to get in a few extra meetings and attend the keynotes. In the past I have taken this time to hit a little while ball down a long fairway into a little cup, but alas that didn't happen this time around.



CES 2012: Corsair Announces Obsidian Case, Carbide 300R & Accelerate SSD Caching @ Legit Reviews
Last night Legit Reviews had the opportunity to spend some time with Corsair. While mainly known for their Memory and Power Supplies, their cases are also hitting the market like a ton of bricks! The Corsair Obsidian 550D and the Corsair Carbide 300R are Corsair's latest entries into the PC case market. After spending a few minutes with them last night, once again it seems that Corsair hit the nail on the head! Cases aren't the only thing that they showed off; they are also announcing the Corsair Accelerate SSD Caching!

CES 2012 Asus X79 Boards, Peripherals, and Transformer Prime TF700T In Action
In a lavish suite at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, Asus set up a number of existing an upcoming products for eager members of the technology press to ogle and get some hands-on time. In the suite, we had a chance to checkout a handful of upcoming X79 motherboards, nettops, netbooks, notebooks, and even a few tablets and a smartphone.

One of the standout products had to be the new Transformer Prime TF700T, which builds upon the original design we showed you here, but adds an absolutely awesome WUXGA, 1920x1200 resolution screen, a higher-resolution front facing camera, and reportedly more reliable Wi-Fi performance...



OCZ CES 2012: Z-Drive R5, Kilimanjaro and Everest 2 Step Out
Prior to the start of this year's CES 2012 show, a number of OEMs were showcasing their latest products at various hotel venues throughout the bustling city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Of course OCZ Technology was first on our list of suites to visit, in an effort to satiate our need for blinding storage speed -- and as usual, Team OCZ did not disappoint.

This year, it was actually pretty surprising how many announcements the company was rolling out, from new co-developed solutions with Marvell, to acquisitions and the second coming of their Indilinx Everest controller, dubbed Everest 2.



CES 2012: EVGA SR-X Dual Socket 2011 Motherboard
We had a chance to meet with EVGA this morning and they had most of their usual stuff on display. What caught our eyes were the latest version of the EVGA Classified SR-2, the SR-X. The EVGA SR-X is a Dual Intel LGA2011 socket motherboard and it will support nearly 100 Gb of memory! The other EVGA Products that caught our eyes were a series of power supplies that EVGA is going to be releasing in 2012!
