Magazine

Atomic is a magazine aimed squarely at computer enthusiasts, gamers, and serious PC upgraders. Every month we bring you the latest reviews of new technology and PC components, in depth features on everything from overclocking to console hacking, and gaming previews and interviews.

Issue: 103  |  August, 2009

Oh yeah, that's Starcraft II's Ghost on the cover this month. And yeah, we've played the game. And, in issue 103, we tell you all about it.

Last month we traveled to Blizzard HQ to get some hands on time with SCII's multiplayer game; we survived Zerg rushes, Photon Cannon fields and Terran suicide attacks to bring back the news that this is going to be one of the greatest RTSes ever made.

And that's just for starters! Our Head2Head this month looks at whopping 24in LCD monitors, and we pick the best of the bunch for your gaming and movie watching pleasure. We also look at the latest CPU from AMD, motherboards from Foxconn and Asus, video cards from Gigabyte, Sapphire and more, the latest cooling from Thermaltake and Aywun, and a sweet little gaming system from DCA.

Speaking of systems, we undertake a challenge this month and take you through the build step-by-step. Our mission? To build a machine that beats the pants off Apple's iMac in terms of speed, cost and design. So if you want a sleek and powerful alternative to Apple's admittedly stylish work, this is the tutorial for you.

Finally, we've got reports from the show floors of both Computex and E3, proving that Atomic's your one-stop mag for global tech and gaming coverage.
