Scan had a very large presence at the show, occupying not one but two whole stands! The larger stand was reserved for showing off their products and Pro Audio division and the smaller was more of a shop where the show attendees could order from Scan's vast product catalogue.
We have to say that Scan was the most exciting tech-filled stand in the entire show, at least for the KitGuru reporters. They were displaying a whole host of their custom build 3XS PCs which were accessorised with the latest and greatest gaming peripherals. There was also a rather advanced 3D Vision racing simulator in one corner of their stand, powered by one of their watercooled systems.
By far the most exciting system on display was the 3XS Swordfish which looked more like a command centre than a gaming PC. This rather unique system features the Asus Rampage IV Extreme at its heart alongside the Intel Core-it 3930K, 32 GB of RAM and three GTX 580 graphics cards in SLI. It is fully water-cooled and powered by two Corsair AX1200W power supplies.
The three Dell U2410 IPS screens are fitted to a retractable panel which can be lowered into the desk automatically when the system isn't in use. Scan will happily build you one of these but it will set you back £18500 – £25000 depending on the specification.
The Overclockers UK stand highlighted a selection of products from their range at the show and were displaying a number of their custom built systems.
These included the Titan 8500i Vortex that we reviewed recently. Our most eagle-eyed readers will be able to spot the KitGuru Worth Buying award logo in the photo above!
Whilst Overclockers UK were showcasing a wide range of Kingston products, the Kingston reps were sharing the Zotac stand. Here we caught a glimpse of the latest HyperX 3K SSD which we reviewed today, here.
cute girl. nice turtle beach hardware too…..
Ah I really wanted to go, but its so expensive to get up to Birmingham from London on the train, so had to give it a miss! Definitely next year!
We went this year but to be honest it should be free, it’s like going into a large currys store with everyone trying to sell stuff. The place is filled with grammar school types who spend their evenings playing Warhammer because they cant get a girlfriend.
The show itself allowed 5 egomaniacs to display some crappy products and ask fat people to sing ,go gadget go, into the microphone, bizarrely they then got some men who aspired to be chase and status to mix it up in some rubbish advert for the show. Egos were everywhere and I think the presenters are under some illusion they are well known and popular instead of unknown and basically talentless . Apparently Polly was once in a talent how, well she is talent and you most definately would but come on guys this is a rip off !
