We have a couple of interesting stories for you today from the show floor
at Computex.

Quote: "This design is less a "case" in the traditional sense and more an
open test bed type of computer chassis. With slide out drawers on rails
that allow you to move the motherboard section and power supply section
out from under the ENORMOUS LED-lit fan, it is a
frequent-component-changers dream case. Which means that you will be sure
to find several of them in our testing labs very soon!"
Computex 2008: Gigabyte Shows Retail-ready Intel Atom CPU and Motherboard

Quote: "The motherboard itself is pretty sparse - only a single PCI slot,
a single DDR2 memory slot, one IDE and a couple of SATA connections for
storage and VGA-only output. It interesting to see that Intel is
purposely holding back the designs of Atom motherboards by NOT ALLOWING
them to add PCI Express, DVI output and other high end features; Intel
doesn't want the Atom line to cannablize their Celeron-based desktop sales
that are already make them a lot of money."
Thanks for a post!
