No doubt about it, the new Dell 30” LCD has won many hearts. And whatever part of one’s self that’s in charge of lust.

Reading about it and imagining it is one thing, seeing one in the flesh quite another. It’ll stop you in your tracks. Your desktop looks amazing, movies movie-like and gaming is ridiculously fantastic.

While it’s a stretch to use one for FPS gaming because powering 1560 x 1600 is asking a bit much of the meanest SLI rig, any other kind of gaming enters a new realm of incredible.

There’s one up for grabs if you subscribe or renew a subscription before the 7th Feb. Note please that to be in the running your sub needs to be in our system by that date, so if you’re posting a cheque on the 6th it’s not gonna happen. Posting a cheque right now would be wiser, or do it online.
While the odds of winning one are a whole lot better than of dying in a plane crash, you could always just buy one.

We’ve lined up a special 10% discount just for Atomicans. That comes out at $289, which is better than a poke in the eye with a dead puppy. At a RRP of $2899 the Dell is a bit pricey, but it’s still way cheaper than anything else in the market at that size and this Atomican discount helps even more.

Be quick though, this offer expires 28/01/2005.

Yep, we’re Dell fans this month. Hard not to be in the face of such impressive gear at Dell prices. Win win win.

Go HERE for info about the 10% discount offer.
