CeBIT 2008: Foxconn

[W1zzard]

Foxconn is showing off various mainboards, as well as the latest and greatest graphic cards. You will find a quad GPU based system up and running and we had the chance to take pictures of the 9800 GX2 up and running.

Wow. 9800GX2 looks like it's about 10-11 inches.






I would buy one if I had money

i like the fact that the power connectors are at the top of the card nistead of the back...the 9600 has it at the back and the 9800 doesnt look much longet than that...and the power connector being in the back makes it all sorts of intresting to try to connect.

the 8800 ultra and GTX have them on top, i found it ridiculous to be elsewhere. despite the shorter length, some PSU's have stiff cables and didnt allow a GTS to fit in the same case.

anyone notice the mention of the cases with "UK made buttons" lol.

 

[Solaris17]

lol ya i saw that the UK must be rwal proud of their buttons perhaps they were having design probs b4?

 

[Saakki]

lold at that transformers looking case..NICE!

Didn't they put up the prototype Intel X48 board with four PCI-E slots that really large board that was up on Computex?

I liked that silver case.

I think Foxconn needs to visit tkpenalty's Cable Management Helpdesk

Yeah, we were discussing that micro cool rack yesterday after I found a workbench I was interested in. Here's the thread:

Thats exactly what I was thinking.. You would think a professional retailer at a major trade show would at least attempt to have clean looking cases. It's not really doing them any favors in showing off their new hardware to the world.. But then again the case that the 9800gx2 isnt really the star of the show.

they probably had to assemble it on the spot or something. you can imagine if a part was delayed or faulty, just how fun it would be to assemble a system like that at the last minute
