What are the basis for the so called "Innovation Award"???

 

[guntario2715]

I believe the basis for the innovation award is that the technology must be innovative.

 

[pschmid]

@Shadow703793: Exactly. It has to be something really new, useful or with a measurable added value. If you have more suggestions please let us know.

Best,

But what's so innovative about it? It's just a PSU - maybe more efficient than the others, but then what? Does that really matter? Its higher price will almost surely overcome all the savings it could make, anyway. So, who cares?
It's good that the efficiency of Power Suplies is increasing, but it's hardly something to be called the biggest innovation of Computex.

I believe Toms should do a PSU quality (ie Rail stability,etc) review first. If they do so they will find a few surprises about CoolerMaster products. There are thorough reviews done by [H]ard|OCP.

+1 for Ikonik R10 and WiMAX. Good choices for the award. Should be interesting to see that case.

Numerous companies were displaying big-screen stereoscopic 3d displays and the most innovative products you find is a "green" PSU and some random case with "smart" fans. Ok, whatever.

This case looks quite cool. I would like to see more info about it. Is it available yet? I never seen a case that has software control that adjusts the fans before. Should be interesting to see.
