CoolIT Offering Discounted Upgrade Chance to Domino A.L.C. Owners

Lian Li Announces New HTPC Case
Lian Li has a new case announcement today aimed at HTPC enthusiasts. The new case is the PC-C50 chassis and should look great in any home theater. The PC-C50 case measures in at 445 x 167 x 325mm, weighs 3.2 kilograms, and comes in black or silver. It features an all aluminum chassis with one exposed 5.25" bay and three internal 3.5" / 2.5" bays. Now, the internal bays are a bit different since they reside on the upper portion of the case just below the top panel. Each hard drive bay does feature anti-vibration mounts and modularity so they can most likely be positioned wherever you like or removed if some aren't being used. The case also has four expansion slots on the rear and the front I/O panel consists of three USB 3.0 ports, one eSATA port, audio in/out, and an MS/SD card reader. There are two 120mm fans pre-installed on the side with an additional 120mm mount on the top panel and an 80mm mount on the rear. Motherboard support includes micro ATX, mini DTX, and mini ITX.
The Lian Li PC-C50 will be available at the end of August for $189.

AMD Gains Market Share in the Notebook CPU Segment
AMD got some good news today in regards to its notebook CPU plans as analysts announced a gain in market share for the recent quarter. For the second quarter of this year, AMD gained 1.6% to rise to 13.7% overall market share for notebooks. Now, this number does seem small compared to Intel's 86.1% share, but any increase is good news for AMD. The rise in market share is mostly attributed to AMD's Nile and Danube platforms which appear in 150 different notebooks. However, things are not looking so good for the desktop and server CPU markets for AMD. In the desktop world, AMD dropped 0.7% to get to 27.3% market share which is heavily outshadowed by Intel's 72.2% share. For servers AMD dropped 3.3% to get down to a 6.5% market share while Intel holds 93.5% of it. Analysts do predict for CPU sales to increase over last year for both Intel and AMD in all segments but in 2011 some uncertainity is shown due to Intel's upcoming Sandy Bridge platform and AMD's Fusion and Bulldozer platforms.
