Thermaltake says it's bringing innovation back to power supplies with its latest unit, shown off at its booth right in the centre of Computex's busiest intersection. It was hosting a surprise visit by Jensen Huang at the time of my visit—chaos. Luckily I could hide away from the action down the company's power supply aisle.
The Dockpower series looks to be more or less your standard power supply. Available from 750 to 1200 watts, in black or white, and including a 12V-2x6 connection, it's got most gaming rigs covered. Though remove one screw from the end with all the ports and it reveals its hidden talent: this part comes away from the body entirely.
The idea is that you can fit the PSU inside the case without this part, which Thermaltake calls the dock module. Then you fit whichever cables you need to it and reattach, saving having to fiddle around with each individual connection in what can be a cramped space inside a PC or under a PSU shroud. The dock modules uses, what I'm told is, a server-grade gold-plated connection. It's secured in place with a provided screw (which has a d-ring to make it easier to tighten by hand).
