Ok Cebit rocked. Hell. It kicked ***. I think 99% of people here would just walk around with eyes wide open and drooling uncontrollably...I know I did :santa:

I will try and put my thoughts here, the highs and lows, winners and losers (from my point of view)

I apologize beforehand for some of the blurry pictures, couldn't help it :p

Sooo....I'll start off with pictures from the ATI hall...I mean...holy ****....they had one huuuuuuuuuuuuuge hall, also hosting the WCG Euro Championships 2005....Fun fun fun. Only thing is....Warcraft 3? Jesus ! Play a goddamn REAL game like...STARCRAFT !!!. WC3 everywhere...I got sick of it...I DID find CS:S being played, which was neat, but that was in a different hall...

Old school time ! Yes, one of the neatest things about the ATI hall is they had an area which portrayed the history of computers (first vga card, console, OS, etc..)
Behold...The Greatest Console Ever Created !

Ok I hope you've beared with me through the pics and enjoyed em !

A few things. AMD. Where the hell were you? I was looking forward to seeing a decent sized AMD stand, where I could interrogate them about their upcoming cores, but nooooooooo. Intel had TWO...BIG....stands. AMD? Nada. Ok so you saw a lot of AMD stickers and supported **** all over, but I was kinda disappointed in them... Intel 1-0 AMD

Nvidia.....man...their stand sucked *** compared to ATI (no I'm not a ATI fanboy..I'm a proud owned of a 6600GT with SLI mobo). ATI had a buttload of hardware from all of their partners on show (playable/testable) and events revolving around them...Very impressed. nVidia on the other hand had to share a hall with a load of other companies. Only neat thing about them was that they had a SLI-enabled 6800 Ultra 512mb on show (1gig!).
ATI 1-0 nVidia

There were so many halls, so many stand, unbelievable ! So many MP3 players, USB keys, mice, cases, PSU's, mobo's, mobile phones, electronic components. You name it, it was probably there ! I liked the Logitech stand, nicely done...then I stumbled upon the MX518 ! Wow. A thing of beauty, that's all I can say :)

Also picked up lots of brochures etc. Asus had by far the thickest and most comprehensive. Gigabyte came second, but not even close to matching Asus.

Well, that's all I can think of for right now, if I come up with anything else, I'll post it here
