Atomic got thirty Atomicans in for a visit from ASUS, and a tech-filled night was guaranteed to ensue.

Last night we gathered at Atomic HQ, piling into our gaming area for a very special reason.

ASUS was that reason, and they'd flown over two of their top marketing/technical guys from their head office (as well as an entire legion of local reps) for the sole purpose of having some face-to-face time with Atomicans!

From grilling ASUS employees, munching down on some delicious pizza and sharing in some beer, we kicked the night off at 6pm and kept going for three tech-filled hours.

ASUS also showed off their OC Station (a dual 5.25" bay device that allows overclocking), Atomic showed off a sneak preview into Issue 101 and the illustrious David Hollingworth showed off his leadership skillz!

Thanks to the Atomicans who made it that night, ASUS and all those who helped setting up - it was a blast that not only we enjoyed, but ASUS loved it too.

We took plenty of pics for those who couldn't make it, so jump into the gallery to check them all out.

Here's to the next beer and pizza night at Atomic!

Couple of things:

Pic 24 needs to be caption "I... will... DESTROY you!"

And, Justin, I hate you.

I cant believe they just gave out free motherboards and stuff, last time I had to think of an answer to their TurboV conundrum to get a prize :/

Whoa, that's some serious freebies!

I'm amazed, too, that an Atomic party featured beer and pizza. And that Logicprobe was drinking the beer. *shakes head*
