We also dropped by the Chieftec booth and they have some nice enclosures on display. The most interesting one is the ITX case with large heatsinks on both sides, which are attached to heatpipes. These in turn cool the CPU and chipset of an Atom ION board. Due to the inability to accommodate the different board layouts, Chieftec will be offering these cases to OEMs who will then also receive a custom cooling solution to fit the mainboard they are using. The case also features a Soundgraph VFD and slot for a slim-line optical drive. We were also witness to a computer case which dispenses beer when needed. What else could you ask for?

Besides that, they have their newest PSU line-up at CeBIT, along with the final version of another very compact ITX chassis. We already covered the latter at a previous show, but it was not ready for retail back then. Last, but not least, Chieftec is also adding USB 3.0 enclosures to their line-up.
