Computex 2005: XFX, the trailer trash of Computex
Computex 2005: XFX, the trailer trash of Computex
Following on from their ‘white trash’ street theme of CeBIT, XFX have again flown in the face of the normal stilted stands with another mid-West American style stand.
Going heavy on the bare brick work with tasteful power tool adornments, XFX have stood out once again with a stand designed to look anything but chic. While all the other vendors strive to present slick stands and reps, the XFX crew are lounging around, swigging Heineken whilst ogling pin-ups of Carmen Electra and Brooke Burke.
Of course, in the middle of all this they’ve got some impressive hardware on show featuring a Netcell RAID adapter, which is a very clever bit of kit we covered in CeBIT but is back again in a revised version with even more features.
As well as this, XFX are showing off a new bit of kit helping them fulfill their ‘See it. Hear it. Feel it.’ tagline. So far, with their range of NVIDIA based graphics cards and their gamepads, XFX have let us see it and feel it, but now, with their new vibrating headphones, we can hear it too. XFX have let me have a sample, so I’ll be bringing you a preview very soon… needless to say, being XFX they only know extremes, so the vibrations were pretty good… so good the booth babes wouldn’t let them go.
