Per Hansson over @ Techspot.com has posted his interview with Nvidia's Andrew Humber and Adam Foat and not forgetting he snapped some pictures as well!

[TS]: It's been rumoured that only a few companies have been given exclusive licenses to present their own products based on the GeForce FX at launch. How do you confront these rumours?

[Nv]: This is of course only rumours. There are a few companies that we have worked closer with before the launch of the GeForce FX, though that exclusive licenses have been written is only rumours. Regarding the European launch of the card it's mostly the large manufacturers we have worked with; Creative, PNY and Terratec.

Creative is giving you the chance to own one of our many cool gadgets! Just take part in the "Are You a Trendsetter?" contest and stand to win either a Sound Blaster Audigy 2, a NOMAD MuVo or a Creative TravelSound MP3! Contest ends February 10, 2003. Pacific-Asian region applicants only.

Rainer over @ Teschke.de send words that he has finished his review about the RSG power supply, which works without any fans.
Here´s a snip from the review:The RSG powersupply seems to work very well . We didnt notice any instabilities, even under 3D applications which needs the full power of every component working in the system. During working with standard applications the temperature was approximately 38° C . The black heatsink (outside the case) has a very practical value because it transfers part of the heat outside the case. Read the review over here

Watch.Impress.co.jp have posted details of new TFT Screens that will be launched by Samsung for 2003. Here's a quick translation as the sites in Japanese.

The liquid crystal panel is renovated from the 152t, the speed of response 25ms, brightness 250cd/ square meter, as for contrast ratio 350:1, angle of visibility also up and down left and right have reached 170 degrees. As for interface only D-Sub15 pin.

In addition, the 153p we assumed it develops the " button less monitor " in the base, throws to the market during 2003 years. The button less monitor being something which sets parameter such as brightness of display with the software on the PC, does not have the buttons for adjustment for the substance.
