[Taipei, September 15, 2003] —EPoX Computer Co. Ltd. (Hall 2 E151~156), a world renowned manufacturer of motherboards, IA devices, communication devices, and industrial PC motherboards, is going to announce a series of its new products during the upcoming Computex exhibition in Taipei (September 22~26), proving it is more than a professional motherboard manufacturer but also an exceptional innovator within the PC industry.

This year, besides its famous mainboard products, EPoX family adds a new member, eX5 Mini Me mini barebone system. Offering a higher quality package than those of “plastic-y” competitors and with features such as Music On Now! OS un-reliant CD and MP3 CD audio players with full LCM module and GUI interaction, EPoX will offer a far more refined solution than any other.

eX5 Mini Me is a amazing feature packed multi-media mini barebone system, which is
well-specified for home and business application. Building on EPoX’s reputation for high performance and overclockability, the ex-5 Mini Me will continue the trend and include the overclocking features that users have become akin to within our desktop range of products.
“The ex-5 is inspired by the BMW X5 series”, said Jerry Ferng, EPoX CEO. This can be easily seen with R & D for the product taking the same key factors for criteria – Performance, High Build Quality and many many features. Such competing products from other manufacturers may only be considered as small hatchbacks or saloon cars with small and highly laboured engines with very “plastic-y” dashboards!

EPoX will also show it’s entry into the foray of 64bit desktop computing through the EP-8HDA3+, a refined and matured product based evolved from conceptual designs to a product incorporating the latest integrated controllers for the utmost in connectivity including Dual Onboard LAN, Jack Sensing 6 channel Audio with EAX compatibility and SATA RAID offering the ability to use upto an amazing 6 SATA devices! Supporting the best-performing processor on the desktop PC market and continuing EPoX’s trend for manufacturing outstanding AMD supporting mainboard products.

Within the burgeoning climate for Bluetooth devices, EPoX continues to offer new products, including the BT-PM-01B Bluetooth presenter, a device designed to give ease to the presentation of such documents as Powerpoint Presentations or PDF’s in a world whereby staff training sessions and meeting presentations are every more frequent and a recognition of the fact that the old fashioned flip chart has long since been superceded. To be demonstrated both live and static, such products as the Bluetooth Presenter and our popular BT-PA-02A Bluetooth Printer Adaptor and BT-DG-03 Bluetooth USB printer dongle will surely attract many people other than those that expect EPoX to solely be a manufacturer of mainboards alone.


Further acceptance of the need for information and media manipulation within the confines of the living area is given recognition through EPoX ongoing developments within the Information Applicance arena where Set-Top-box like products such as the EP-160A (VIA CLE266 DDR) and EP-168J (With TV Modulator) offer the ability to have video on demand, video in video, alpha blending of video and access to the internet all from the comfort of your sofa. Gone are the needs to own PC type equipment to be able to utilize such technologies. The Information Appliance range of products are comparable in stature to that of a VCR or DVD player, and occupy the same space within the living area of those devices for the most aesthetically pleasing solution.

EPoX will as ever display their offerings to the Industrial PC sector through it’s IPC subsidiary division, whom will display a large range of cutting edge SBC’s, server chassis orientated mainboards, risers, backplane power headers etc. which have been a very well accepted product worldwide. The increased demand for large volume web-server and file server solution and space constraints for these products, ever strengthens the placement of the SBC product line and its practical implementation. Other industrial mainboard products with ISA expansion for machinery controller card attachment also offer high levels of performance and connectivity in the world of CAD/CAM where reduced product development times for clients are ever more important in an increasingly competitive global market.
