With Computex Taipei 2014 a little over a week away we are starting to see the first official teasers, rather than leaks, coming from component and systems builders. Earlier today HEXUS reported on Microsoft's first official mention of its Windows 8.1 with Bing, which will be found installed on many a device at the show. Now ASUS has started its pre-show teasing. We get to see both a mini-ITX system aimed at the living room gaming and a video hinting at "the next incredible thing," which will be thin…

Mini ITX system

Destined for its Computex 2014 booth, ASUS has published a picture gallery showing off a new mini ITX system. This 'cool mod' has a black and gold themed chassis and the various pictures show some of the components and logos of the component manufacturers.

We see one of the latest ASUS 9 Series motherboards, which looks like the mini-ITX Z97I-PLUS, also you can clearly see a powerful ASUS DirectCU II graphics card. Other component makers which are name-checked include Intel, Fractal Design and EK Water Blocks. Water cooling could help a powerful gaming system remain relatively quiet in your living room space.

The next incredible thin(g)?

Now we have a video for you. However it doesn't show much, except for a play on words from ASUS. A person takes a sheet of paper out of an envelope, reminiscent of the famous MacBook Air reveal envelope, and writes "The next incredible thing". The (thin)g part of the last word is emphasised and is zapped by a flash of laser light. Yes, that's the end of the video. It's a new ultra-thin tablet, 2-in-1 or laptop perhaps?

The video also notifies us of the ASUS live pre-Computex press event stream on Monday 2nd June at 2pm Taipei time.
