Legislation that affects the use of Internet-connected computers is springing up everywhere at the local, state and federal levels.

ASUS has released a new surround-capable compact speaker array for use with home computer systems.The ASUS Cine5 compact surround PC speaker offers a true surround experience out of what it claims to be the world’s smallest five-channel speaker array. The focus of the new ASUS Cine5 compact surround PC speaker is to deliver big surround sound from a small package. The output produced by the Cine5 can reach 28W and 15RMS, ranging between 80Hz and 20KHz. Its side-facing bass port uses a specially designed reflex system that boosts bass output by 15 dB, enough rumble for a solid PC media experience. ASUS claims to achieve all of this in a Cine5 speaker bar that measures in at only 373 x 100 x 100. That, according to ASUS, is the world’s smallest 5-channel speaker array. The ASUS Cine5 connects to a computer using standard 3.5mm audio jacks allowing multi-channel audio. When the going gets private, users can plug headphones directly into the Cine5 instead of re-wiring the computeraudio system or plugging directly into a tower. The big-sound, little package ASUS Cine5 does not yet have a release date or a price, but keep your eyes peeled in early spring for delivery updates.

The folks at Fudzilla spied a crazy new exotic case from Taiwanese computer case giant Lian Li last week at the CeBIT trade show in Germany. The case has sort of a spidery look too it and stands proudly on four legs. As you can see, it has a majority of its components exposed to the open air. This isn’t a concept or anything like that – this is a real case that works and Lian Li will begin selling it, soon. The case is called the PC-T1R and it’s pretty unique. It uses a mATX form factor motherboard which is pretty small, as far as motherboards go. You probably won’t be building an elite gaming machine in this thing. It also has support for housing your hard drive, optical drive and even has a wide back end for a power supply. Notice in the picture how Lian Li has the wires carefully groomed. If you’re not good with cable management in your computer builds, this thing could look like some horrible. As mentioned, it’s a completely fully functioning computer case, completely with on/off switch, etc. Nothing on a release date, but the PC-T1R will be shipping in either red or black, and will cost €150. A little closer to reality, Lian Li also had a new ATX full tower case on display at CeBIT. The big full tower case is named the PC-8FU and features a hefty all-aluminum design and weighs in at 5.8kg (12.7 lbs). One notable thing about the PC-8FU chassis is that it has USB 3.0 ports in the case, in case your motherboard supports USB 3.0. No pricing or release information on the big PC-8FU.
