Newegg, a global leader in computer and technology products, today announced its participation at the 2026 Taipei International Computer Show (COMPUTEX 2026), taking place June 2-5. Marking Newegg's 25th anniversary year, the showcase is the company's largest-ever Computex footprint, anchored by an expanded Gamer Zone, the debut of Newegg Simulator Builder, and an international PC Builder Championship featuring leading creators from four countries.

Newegg's booth, located at Hall 1, 4F, Booth #L0429A is structured around two zones: a component showcase highlighting new launches from key Newegg marketplace partners, and an immersive sim racing experience built around Newegg's Advanced Battlestations (ABS) prebuilt PCs, MSI gaming monitors, and rigs from premier sim hardware brands Thermaltake and MOZA. The setup will introduce attendees to Newegg Simulator Builder, a new Newegg.com configurator that lets sim racing enthusiasts spec and purchase complete rigs.

A savvy DIY-er has acquired an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D desktop processor one week in advance of the official January 29 launch day. This triumph was shared with the PC Master Race (PCMR) community. Earlier today, the lucky owner's subreddit thread gained extra attention due to prominent PC news outlet coverage of the embargo-busting purchase. The buyer—dobum—did not go into great detail when describing their major scoring of the should-not-be-out-yet desktop microprocessor product. Apparently a "local reseller" listed available stock at some point this week, and dobum seized the moment: "(they) made a mistake...and I managed to get one out of curiosity...(it will replace) a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which goes into another PC."

They mentioned paying 450 Swiss Francs (likely including VAT) for the upgrade, reflecting similar price tags tracked by VideoCardz—when examining pre-launch conditions across Europe. dobum's own currency conversion—to USD—shows an additional $71 tacked on top of Team Red's MSRP ($499). Their post did not include a breakdown of possible delivery charges, or a customary Value Added Tax charge. Photographic evidence did not provide a look at the product's OPN, so it is not clear whether dobum picked up a boxed retail or tray OEM unit. In a follow-up reply, they stated that their newly updated PC system had booted up with the "latest MSI BIOS (from December)." A commenter, kronoseedlc, added their own findings—in the form of screenshots (see CPU-Z grab below) accompanying a story about attempts to get their own early Ryzen 7 9850X3D sample to surpass 5700 MHz on some sort of MSI MPG CARBON WIFI mainboard.

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, has introduced the latest model to its O11 series of PC cases with the O11 Vision Compact. Developed in collaboration with PC Master Race (PCMR), the O11 Vision Compact is a refinement of the previous O11 Vision. It maintains the 3-sided tempered glass showcase style while adding a top mesh panel and bracket for top cooling options. With a fixed motherboard tray and a more compact design, the O11 Vision Compact can support back-connect ATX motherboards. It features a large grommet passthrough for AIO radiators to connect to a side-mounted radiator in the second chamber. The O11 Vision Compact even integrates a rear passthrough for an internal IPS display, which can be easily mounted above the motherboard. The O11 Vision Compact is available in black and white at an MSRP of $119.99.

Two Configurations
The O11 Vision Compact now includes a top mesh option for excellent airflow in addition to the top glass configuration. The top glass mode provides a completely unobstructed view of the system with top, front, and left-side tempered glass panels. The magnetic mounting key in the top left corner performs double duty, securing the mesh configuration top bracket to the front glass, and with top glass, holding the three glass panels together with 35 kg of supporting force.

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading chassis and PC accessories manufacturer, premieres the LIAN LI 2024 DIGITAL EXPO at 9 am EST on YouTube. In this 2-part video, LIAN LI shares updates on prototype cases, a standing desk, and unveils new concepts for an all-in-one cooler and power supply. The prototypes include the SUP-01, the case that experiments with a front GPU layout, the DAN Cases A3 M-ATX case, and the O11 VISION BACK CONNECT. LIAN LI also unveils the GALAHAD II LCD SHIFT, an AIO that minimizes the tubing, the EDGE Series PSU, a new form factor power supply that solves cable access in dual chamber cases, and the DK-07, a new standing desk with new features. The LIAN LI 2024 DIGITAL EXPO will be followed by a roundtable discussion hosted by Jameson Chen, CEO at LIAN LI, with YouTube influencers Stuart Tonks from GGF Events, Justin Robey from Robytech, and PCMR's founder Pedro Valadas.

The SUP-01, a compact 45-liter case, reimagines the PC layout with a front-positioned graphics card and innovative cooling. Equipped with airflow-optimized mesh panels, it surpasses the LANCOOL 216 in cooling performance. The GPU's unique placement optimizes cooling without sacrificing aesthetics and is supported by adjustable brackets. The airflow configuration strategically utilizes GPU fans and rear fans as intakes, and right-side fans as exhausts, ensuring optimal GPU and CPU cooling. The main chamber accommodates motherboard sizes up to ATX, pre-mounted PCIe 4.0 riser cable, and features clearance for 280 to 360 mm AIOs. Storage options include two SSDs or 3.5" HDDs, a removable drive cage, and magnetic dust filters to maintain system cleanliness. The price is set to be $149.99.

Lian Li collaborated with PC Master Race (PCMR) to create the PC-O11 Vision, a variation of the popular dual chambered case by Lian Li that's designed for maximum visibility of the internals of your build. The case features tempered glass on three of its sides—front, left side, and top—with no column along the front-left edge. The structure is held in place by a reinforced front-right column. The front- and left-side panels are made of 4 mm-thick glass, while the top is 3 mm thick. There are two variants of the PC-O11 Vision based on color—matte black, and white. The metal bits of the front panel feature a brushed aluminium finish.

The PC-O11 Vision has room for an E-ATX (or smaller) motherboard, with clearance for even the largest graphics cards such as the RTX 40-series ROG Strix. Cooling options include support for up to two 360 mm and one 240 mm radiators. A removable multi-function storage bracket provides three 2.5-inch drive mounts, and doubles up as a cable routing structure. There is an additional detachable drive cage that holds two 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drives. Available now in the UK through OverclockersUK, the black version of the PC-O11 Vision is priced at £139.98, and the white version £144.95, including VAT.
