After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Intel Boards

A little side quest of mine was to find out where all of the BTX form factor motherboards were and despite the lack of them in the mfg booths Intel had quite a few on display. Unfortunately all of them seemed to be "MicroBTX" boards for the SFF (cube) and mini tower cases.

You will notice that many of the boards only have a couple expansion slots, with the current market trend to include more features onboard this approach makes sense but not for the enthusiast, we like expandability even if we don't use it.

Conclusion

Well that concludes the extremely late coverage of Computex 2004, finances permitting Computex will become a yearly thing for Ninjalane and I've already planned to change the format a bit in the hopes of having better flexibility and real-time updates as they happen.

I would like to thank everyone that took time to meet with me and I look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
