Agait's Booth
Over at Agait's booth, we saw this funky automatic cleaner, which is programmable and even smart enough to return to its charging base when its low on battery.
Arctic's Booth
Apart from coolers, Arctic Cooling also showed off offerings from their newly formed Hobby and Power line of products.
Arctic's aftermarket coolers are found on a wide range of graphics cards.

Leaving no stone unturned, Arctic is adventuring into products for children with their new Arctic Hobby line.
Cooler Master's Booth
A name DIY enthusiasts will certainly be familiar with, we checked out Cooler Master's latest products.
Dominating the booth was this prototype casing that features a whopping 10 expansion slots. Clearly one for high-end components.
This is the AMD-themed HAF X casing. If this casing interests you, keep a look out on our website for the full review of this casing, which will be coming in the weeks after.
The Silent Pro Gold is Cooler Master's top-end casing. Rated for 1200 watts, it is certified Gold by 80 Plus.
This is the ultra cool V6 GT CPU cooler, which resembles the engine cover of a car. Definitely one for petrolheads.
Enermax's Booth
We checked out Enermax to see what new PSUs they have in store.
Enermax unveiled their latest range of highly efficient 87++PSUs, available in 1100, 1300 and 1500 watts. These PSUs are certified to offer at least 87% efficiency at 20 - 100% load.
Also on display were their Revolution range of PSUs. These are certified Silver by 80 Plus, which is certainly good enough for most users.

FIC's Booth
FIC's booth was a flurry of activity, so what did they have in store for us?
One of the products that caught out eye was this 10.1-inch tablet running on a 1.66GHz Atom N455 processor and uses a Broadcom HD media processor.
Also on display was this Mini PC running on Intel's widely-used N270 Atom processor. It features a rugged aluminum casing, making it suitable for outdoor use.
On show was a wide selection of notebooks that can be configured to run with any of Intel's latest Core i series of processors.
G.Skill's Booth
To check out the latest enthusiast-class memory modules, we headed to G.Skill's booth.
Positioned as the ultimate memory for AMD setups, G.Skill's Flare series now comes in blazing fast 2000MHz speeds.
The Trident series, with its distinctive heatspreader, was instantly recognizable.
At G.Skill's booth was also an overclocking demonstration with liquid nitrogen.
Manli's Booth
Manli had a decent selection of graphics cards and motherboards on display.
Manli's NVIDIA graphics cards on display includes the new GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470.
Manli's ATI cards were also on show. The sticker on the Radeon HD 5870 is quite hypnotic, don't you think?
The Manli NM10 DTX WiFi is powered by Intel's new D510 Atom processor and accommodates up to 4GB DDR2-800 memory - an ideal foundation for lightly-powered PC.
The Manli Nettop AD01M-T2 is special because instead of being powered by your traditional Atom or Ion chipset, it is instead driven by a dual-core AMD Athlon Neo X2 L325 1.5GHz processor.
Metalware's Booth
Metalware had an interesting selection of products on display. Comic fans will certainly love what we saw.
Can't make out what these are? These are in fact hard disk casings. How cool is that?!
A Transformers fan? No problem.
Astro Boy MP3 players!

Here's their entire line up of graphics card at the show.
At Sparkle's booth was also a 3D Vision Surround setup.
The Sparkle CUTI n30 is powered by a dual-core Atom N330 processor and uses NVIDIA's Ion chipset, which means it also has a GeForce 9400 GPU.

Seasonic displayed their X series of PSUs at their booth.
Seasonic's X series are all certified Gold by 80 Plus and they come in a variety ratings so there's something for everyone. This is their entry-level 460W PSU which comes with a fanless design.
At the other end of the spectrum is this 1200W PSU for power-hungry users.
VIA's Booth
We visited VIA to see what interesting technologies they have to show.
Not every tablet at Computex was powered by Intel, VIA showed off some tablets that were powered by their WonderMedia ARM processor-based SoC.
This 7-inch G-Link-A8 tablet is powered by the WonderMedia SoC and is running on Android 1.6 OS.
S3 Graphics is still very much in the business, and this is the Chrome 5400E dual-GPU multi-display card. It is capable of driving up to 8 simultaneously displays and 4 independent video HD video streams.
