Motherboard Preview From Comdex

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the if-everybody-had-a-motherboard dept.

adpowers writes "Anandtech has a large preview of upcoming motherboards shown at Comdex." P4s dominating Athlons, lots of DDR SDRAM boards. A quite lengthy article. The FIC pages have several interesting looking PCs, I dig the AquaPad, a WinCE Transmeta box.

    i've been boycotting Comdex ever since i realized they were never going to feature an upgraded mainboard for my dual processor 486....

    and it looks like this year is no exception.

    Im still waiting for the Windowed Case thing to catch on. Everybody seems to want a Cool Windowed Case like the Modified PC60. But what about the motherboard thats showing through the window?

    Sure some of the new Mobos with the trouble or post/boot LEDs by the ATX block are cool and all, but I'd like to see some real wowers. Like Holographic logos or images, LEDs in the fans that make cool effects, something that reminds me of a sequential flashing dilithium containment chamber, or just some cool colors on the mobo showing off it's sections or pathways. Anything would be better than the normal old motherboard sitting there, looking all blah.

    In short, I want better use of a windowed case than just seeing if my fans are still spinning.

      That seems more like a case for people who actually keep their computers clean. About the only advantage of that, that I could see would be the ability to watch your Athlon burst into flames in reasonable safety.

    Dude, what would the point of a trade show be if you were going to see stuff that is available? Thats like going to a strip club where all the dancers are ex-girlfriends.
