In collaboration with ECS Elitegroup we'll travel half way around the globe. The Computex in Taipei is a computer expo held annually at the Taipei World Trade Center in Taipei, Taiwan. The first Computex expo held in 1981 started out as a place where small and medium sized businesses in Taiwan's nascent computer industry could display their products.

As Taiwan's information technology industry took off in the early 1990s, Computex has since rapidly expanded and become an important showcase for IT industry. Now it has become the second largest computer expo in the world (after CeBIT) and the largest in Asia, with participation from major manufacturers such as Intel, AMD, ATI, NVIDIA, and others.

Because of the large number of companies involved in the production of computer hardware in Taiwan, COMPUTEX has become a favorite location for observers hoping to get a preview of new hardware and trends in that field.

Today is day 0 - the before the event starts, we've already browsed the primary tradeshow grounds at the Nangang facility and we've been able to catch a thing or two on camera already.

Being our sponsor, first dibs go to ECS. This is day 0 as mentioned, everybody is still building their booths. In the middle, oh yes .. Intel's X79 chipset is on display. Meet the X79R-A, Intel's next platform for enthusiasts will get a 2011-pin LGA socket, the Sandy Bridge-E (enthusiast) processor that features a massive quad-channel DDR3 memory controller and 32+ lane PCI-Express 2.0 hub, and the X79 chipset. 

All the way to the right, AMD Llano, That's the A75F-M for AMD's A series APUs based on socket FM1. This dual-channel 1866 MHz compatible Micro ATX motherboard has four dimm slots, six SATA 6G ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel Realtek audio and obviously will have Radeon DX11 graphics embedded into the processor, it will have two USB 3.0 ports, DSUB, DVI and HDMI.

Obviously we will not forget about the x-chromosome species this year, as it seems ... as important as the actual hardware :) The coming hours we'll have some more photo's and kit to show you, yes Computex 2011 kicks off.
