We're far from sold on Asus' range of desktop systems and its R.O.G. series has yet to really impress, but the new CG8580 does at least have some pretty decent specs to say the least. This time around Asus has pulled out all the stops and gone with an Ivy Bridge CPU, a GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, Xonar DX audio and even a pair of SSD's in RAID, although most of these features are optional.

Entry by the Republic of Gamers into the dedicated sound product arena brings PC enthusiasts ROG Xonar Phoebus, a high fidelity audio component that directly addresses the needs and concerns of contemporary gamers. The Xonar Phoebus features the exclusive ROG Command technology which reduces up to 50% of ambient noise thus providing authoritative voice quality during online multiplayer gaming sessions.

ROCCAT™ is set to roll out some impressive new technology at CeBIT 2012 in Hanover, Germany on March 6.

High on the list is the Savu Mid-Size Hybrid Gaming Mouse, a device whose technological supremacy, ROCCAT says, will make in unbeatable in its class. The Savu is expected to hit shelves internationally early May.
