CeBIT 2008 Day 3 - PSUs and Cases

OCZ and PC Power & Cooling
OCZ added another color to the PCP&C Silencer series. The Silencer 750 is now also available in blue, which is not as nice looking as the red edition (Ed: at least in some reviewer's opinion). OCZ told us that there might also be a Lamborghini-like yellow version coming, which might be even cooler than the red edition; we will see. OCZ also introduced a 500W Silencer power supply that we are looking forward to testing soon.
Another addition to the lineup is the EliteXStream series, introduced at CES this year. The new series has final status now and will ship very soon. We already had the chance for a sneak peek into this new series, and it is performing very well indeed. A review will come very soon. Also on display was the new Turbo Cool 1200W ESA edition, first shown at CES. We tested the normal 1200W edition and found a decent quality PSU. The ESA model now has final status and will ship soon.
Scythe
Scythe is a Japanese company famous for their extraordinarily big and high-performance coolers. At CeBIT last year, we saw several of their first attempts in the power supply market, and it now looks like they have finished samples ready for mass-production. Unfortunately, we had no chance to look inside, but from the outside it looks like an Impervio-made product.
The rest of the booth focuses on their coolers. All the coolers use heatpipe technology, with plenty of them to provide the best cooling possible - or at least close to it. One cooler even came up with 10 heatpipes and a huge fan. The fins aren't spaced as close to each other anymore, but that would have made the cooler extraordinary heavy as well limiting airflow. We will have to see how it actually performs in actual use, however - hopefully sooner rather than later.
Silverstone
There wasn't much new at the Silverstone booth, since they showed the same products we saw at CES just two months ago. Silverstone developed the products internally and they either are close to mass production or are already at that stage. Some of the cases Silverstone developed over the years are really innovative, such as the Sugo series. The ESA model is shipping to resellers now and should be available for purchase very soon. With the Commander, users will be able to use the ESA function without actually owning an ESA certified case. We don't know how it will work out, but it seems the power supply or motherboard at least will need to be ESA models. We will see how this works out in the near future.

According to reviews I read, it seems ~500W *input* is enough even for high-end systems with two graphic cards. Given this, buying those 1K PSUs is not only a waste of money during purchase, but also afterwards due to lower efficiency because of lower utilization.Like a previous commenter said, efficient and quiet PSUs would be far more interesting, but it looks like all the publicity goes to the KW models.
Maybe AnandTech should take a stance, not review PSUs that make no sense, and instead focus on efficient and quiet? If everyone follows, perhaps we'd get manufacturers to focus on useful products.

Silverstone need to have a real re-think on the Sugo 04, that rounded facia is awful.In fact the only thing I would change to the current model is the need for a stealth drive.

Why no pics of the Zalman3D monitor? I wan't one, once you game 3d anything else is a step down.I want to know when they will make a serious effort to push this tech.

It looks like a perfect lan party case...

It's called the SG04. According to www.presence-pc.com/actualite/Silverstone-CeBIT-28201/ , it is simply the SG03 with a different case design.yehuda - Friday, March 7, 2008 - link
Last Computex, Silverstone was showcasing a USB-attached amplifier:http://news.softpedia.com/news/Silverstone-Shows-O...">http://news.softpedia.com/news/Silverst...SB-Power...
Any word on what's come out of it?

2000w psus? is that ridiculous or is that ridiculous? just curious does ANYONE here have a psu above 750wt? talk about overkill.7Enigma - Friday, March 7, 2008 - link
I'm thinking about getting one to put in my bedroom at night to keep it nice and toasty....But really, this is up there in the stupid cuz' we can category. As mentioned in the article the only place this PSU would be practical is in exactly the area where redundency is paramount (cluster/server).
I'm sure its great to say we did it, but its just wasteful. Now I'd love to see a list of people who will be showing up at lan parties with one of these in their system....I'm sure they will get razz'd pretty badly.
