NZXT has a very promising year ahead of them with a few new products coming out, some that I will note here. I cannot talk about all of them due to NDA but they will be worth the wait I can assure you.

CES is one of the biggest electronic's shows held here in the states and also is a big show internationally. I would like to walk you through a day of covering something like this so that you the reader can see what hard work everyone goes through to set up something like this. CES was held this year from January 10th-13th, 2012 and registration for this is done about 6 months out before getting to the footwork of covering the floor.

A CES trip wouldn’t be complete without a trip over to the Cooler Master Suite to check out upcoming products and as always their amazing models. This year was more exciting than past years because Cooler Master is celebrating their 20^th anniversary this year.  A big congrats to them for making it 20 years and thank you for having us both to their suite and their party at CES this year. Here are a few things we saw while we were there. 

Companies at CES work to get your attention any way they can. They use banners, bilboards, flashing lights, shiny objects, but the big thing companies use is booth  babes. When someone sees a hot woman at a booth it draws the attention of the crowd to be drawn to their product. Well here are some photos to demostrate just that.

Fitting in meetings can be a tough thing when the schedule is full, but in this case Origin was wonderful to fit me in for a meeting in their busy schedule for CES. We actually spoke with the Origin crew at one of the many party’s of CES. Wes's schedule was packed and couldn't fit another schedule. I offered to meet up with Kevin and Hector to check out their newest offerings.

With iFrogz taking their first stab into the gaming headset line we scheduled a meeting to see what they had to offer. Was it a complete bust? Was it worth taking a look at? You will soon find out!

Roccat is a German company that just opened their USA shop about 2 months ago. Can the Germans build a good keyboard? How about headsets and mice? Kathrin showed me what they had to offer. Is Roccat going to be the next big thing? Read on to find out.

After grabbing lunch I headed over to the Lian Li booth where I met up with JP. Lian Li has always been known for it's cases and it's showing at CES 2012 was no exception. With new cases on the way read on to see what they had to offer.

Having a meeting  at 11am may not seem early but with the late night CES shenanigans that go on I knew that I was in for some fun. Our friends over at Fractal Design had me stop by their booth in south hall to chat. Read on to find out what happened.

After a long night out on the town at different parties I had to wake up early to head across the street for my meeting with Rosewill. Their Marketing Manager met me at the door and we were off and running. I am pretty sure that everyone has heard the name Rosewill but I think you'll be surprised on thee amount of different products that they have. Read on to see what new and up and coming with Rosewill in 2012.

Corsair was the last meeting of the day for me on Wednesday. Meeting up with Robert the Technical Marketing guru over there he walked me through their booth at the Venetian. With only a couple of new things, but very good new things we got ourselves rolling. Read on to find out what's new with Corsair.

For the second meeting of the day it was a easy one. Being picked up at the hotel by the IOSafe group we headed up to the Las Vegas Country Club. Not knowing what to expect I opened my mind to anything. Boy was I in for big surprise.

One of our favorite trips every year at CES is always to the SteelSeries’s suite. I’m not sure if it’s going there to be made fun of by Celebrity Kim Rom or the products that keep bringing us back. This year I went solo to hide my tears and to hog all of the cool toys to play with to myself.'

With OCZ in full SSD swing I headed over to their suite with JP for a walk through of whats coming in the next year. From their super speedy RevoDrives to the Octane Series of SSD's OCZ is sure to have what you need for your next PC upgrade. They also had a really genius idea about sleeving PSU cables.
