CES is Crazy (Patreon)

As always, every year for at least five years, we're at CES for the new product launches. We anticipate more still at Computex -- companies like Noctua only attend Computex -- but there's a decent amount to see at this year's US-based trade show.

We've seen your tweets and posts about the various products you'd like us to look at. One that we haven't yet gotten to is the Cooler Master H500P reduxes -- something we're hoping to see. Interestingly, CM actually did not tell us about them, so we'll surprise visit  the company and get some information on the update. The H500P now has mesh variants that we hope to cover.

Other upcoming coverage that isn't yet live includes an NZXT BIOS overview, some more Corsair coverage, and some Intel Hades Canyon coverage.

We are hoping to shoot some sort of behind-the-scenes video, but haven't yet had a chance. It's up at 6AM every day, bed at 1-2AM every night, and we're working the entire time. There are four of us here, counting me, and so it's two teams of two to cover all the products -- hence our crazy video output schedule. Some of you may already know that we skip all parties and, when possible, group dinners, and instead focus on working -- we're here to work, not spend nights out. Thus far, that's worked out well, and we've been able to crank out a ton of content.

Oh, and the dog is just from the Venetian. For some Patreon-only inside info: Despite not gambling and not drinking, and generally disliking crowds, I actually do enjoy visiting Las Vegas. The architecture is sort of insane (in a fantastical way), and it's fun to glance in shop windows at high-end hotels. Fossil stores, for example, exist, and you can grab dinosaur fossils for $30,000.

Yeah. That's Vegas. Not much for us here other than work, but a crazy place to visit. Taipei is probably top of the list for cool places to visit.
