If you were looking for a new peripheral at this year's Computex, Roccat's booth would have been worth checking out, as it threw everything at it apart from the (gaming) kitchen sink. There were mice, headsets and more, but it was the new Suora keyboard that it was particularly looking …

One of the stories we ran last week broke down Nvidia's big VR showing at the Grand Hyatt Hotel during Computex 2016, where it debuted a number of HTC Vive's powered by Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics cards and a few desktop stations with the same internal hardware too. What we didn't …

Antec made an appearance at this year's Computex last week, but while it talked up cases of the future, the actual hardware it had on show was mostly coolers. They might have been big and red, but it's the chassis that Antec has planned that had us most interested.   …

Although AMD might have begun showing off its first Polaris cards at this year's Computex show, Sapphire is still looking to the previous generation to power its systems and yours. At its booth, we found it showing off a HTC Vive VR headset which anyone could try, all powered by …

It looks like Bitfenix isn't the only case manufacturer loving tempered glass panels right now. At its booth at this year's Computex, Lian Li is also sporting some brand new, glassy cases, this ones ditching much of the usual front panels, making the entire thing as see through as possible. The …

Bitfenix is looking to do away with the windowed side-panels of old on its chassis, instead replacing the entire thing with tempered glass. It provides an unprecedented look inside the interiors of the cases it's been showing off at this year's Computex, giving the lighting plenty of room to shine …

Nvidia might have debuted its new hardware before the start of Computex, but that doesn't mean people weren't interested in seeing it. In-fact the GPU maker ended up taking over almost a whole floor of the Grand Hyatt hotel, just to show off its GTX 1080 graphics card and its ability …

If you're visiting Computex this year and swing by the Seasonic booth, there's one real focus there: Prime PSUs. The new units come in a variety of flavours, with high efficiency and modular cabling rounding out a solid feature set.   The Prime range comes in three efficiency ratings: Titanium, …

Backing up your content to somewhere else on your network is a smart plan, but keeping lots of local storage can get a bit hefty considering the size of your average hard drive. What then, if you used a much more contemporary alternative like M.2 storage? That's what QNAP is …

There is a good mix of new blood and old in the PC hardware game and MSI is one of the latter crowd. At Computex 2016, it hosted a party for some of its friends and the media, to celebrate 30 years of operation. Of course being the high-flying tech …

Streacom is looking to change how you look at fanless PC cases with the launch of its new DB4 chassis at this year's Computex. Combining thick, 13mm aluminium panels, with built in heat-pipes that run perpendicular to them, the heat is funnelled away from internal components, keeping your system cool …

In the early hours of this morning AMD finally unveiled its first Polaris graphics card: the RX480. With specifications that peg it as comparable in power, but far more efficient than the R9 390, AMD also twinned up two of the $200 (£140) cards against a Nvidia GTX 1080 and by …

Do you think your in-case lighting set up is on point? Corsair would beg to differ, as it has a whole new range of RGB LED fans that let you customise them to a level unprecedented in PC customisation. It also has a VR set up and some GPU coolers …

The PC modding community often rivals their automotive cousins when it comes to making truly mind-blowing systems for purely aesthetic reasons and this year's Computex is no different. Thermaltake has been showing off a number of new cases, each put together with a custom build to showcase their unique attributes. …

MSI has a lot of hardware on show at this year's Computex event, though alongside the somewhat traditional laptops and desktops, it's stealing the show with a new backpack designed for virtual reality and a number of new laptop displays, capable of hitting 120Hz refresh rates. The big-red backpack is …

At events like Computex, it's not easy to stand out from the masses and draw in the crowds, so some form of spectacle is always useful. ASUS' attempt to do that was by combining two things gamers love: professionals duking it out to see who's the best, and a bunch …

With Computex preparing to open its doors at the end of May, voting has begun on the European Hardware Association Awards 2016 that will be announced during a special ceremony at the Taipei International Convention Centre. After much discussion, the nominations are in and we have the list of finalists! The …
