2010 CES: Computer Technology Highlights @ Benchmark Reviews

The International Consumer Electronics Show offers a vast and overwhelming panoply of products, with exhibitors ranging from tiny, two-man booths from unknown Taiwanese companies to 4+ acre spreads from Microsoft and Intel. In addition to CES exhibits in the Las Vegas Convention Center, vendors have invitation-only hospitality suites set up in various hotels around the Strip. With over 2,700 exhibitors from more than 140 countries, you're not going to see everything even if you spend every waking moment traipsing the show floor. What follows is a list of things which caught my eye, or that I thought were technically cool; it's in no way comprehensive, or even very organized, but should give you some idea of what the show was like.

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Grease Review @ BayReviews.com

"Thermal grease increases the thermal conductivity between your CPU and the heatsink. Each thermal compound is different and choosing the right one will keep your CPU running a few degrees cooler.

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced Mid-Tower @ Techgage

When Cooler Master released its 690 chassis over two years ago, we're doubtful that even it could have predicted just how well-received it was going to be. It did a lot right in terms of design and function, and with the 690 II, those two factors are pushed even further. The result? The best $100 chassis we've ever looked at, bar none.

CES 2010 - Wrap-up

CES is finally over (has been for several days), and a lot of things were shown. Some were really cool new things, while others were just updated models or those with an increase in speed/capacity. Instead of focusing on the many SSDs or USB 3.0 enclosures that dominated a good part of the show, we will focus on a broad range of other new products in this article.

Asrock ION 330HT-BD Nettop @ Rbmods

Today we are taking a look at a very SMALL HTPC from Asrock, they sent us a sample of their ION 300HT-BD where the BD stands for a Bluray Drive so we can use Bluray on this small HTPC.
