ASUS reveals ROG TYTAN G70 gaming desktop

DNP Asus reveals ROG TYTAN G70 gaming desktop

Didn’t snag one of the ROG TYTAN G30s ASUS announced in June? Don’t sweat it because the Taiwanese manufacturer has already one-upped itself, combining the transforming case of last year’s TYTAN CG8890 with the G30’s major features — water-cooled Core i7-4770K, one-touch overclocking, multi-monitor and surround sound support. Just for good measure, an available Nvidia GTX780 can replace the ’30’s GTX 680. Sure, the G70 is Haswell-equipped, but that’s not nearly as impressive as activating “Turbo Gear” on it is: Push a button and the system overclocks, then its side and top panels extend outward automatically, exposing the rig’s 10 fans. How cool is that? As frosty as this tower’s innards we’d imagine. If that wasn’t enough to push you over the edge, it’ll wirelessly charge any Qi-compatible devices you might have as well. This beast of a rig should be available soon at retailers near you, but ASUS hasn’t provided pricing. We’re guessing it’s probably expensive — call it a hunch.

Just walk into any carrier shop in Seoul and you’ll see the shelves dominated by devices from Samsung, LG and Pantech. If you’re lucky, you may spot the odd Sony, Motorola and HTC phones cowering in a corner. So why is that the case? Let’s take a look at the how it all started.
