Editor's Note

It's one day to go before the big night - Atomic's 100th Issue Party is on, the invites sent, the RSVPs received. While we shine our shoes, brush our suits and polish the silverware (okay, maybe not), don't worry - if you can't make it along, we'll have a photographer in play to make sure there's a MESS of photos. So keep an eye out for a star-packed feature gallery!

In the meantime, here's a week's worth of news and features.

There's a hot new video that Starcraft fans will drool over - a one on one match between Terrans and Zerg in Starcraft 2! The 20 minute epic features a lot of new units and gameplay features, and is pretty slick to boot.

We're also making a return to supporting local modders, and the latest cool rig to cross our virtual desk is Big Red. It's a neat build based on the Coolermaster HAF case, and well worth checking out. If you've got a good mod you're proud of, let us know.

And speaking of Coolermaster, we've got a nice chunky gallery of its latest, the Scout. It's a good mid-range choice for those who don't want a massive beast of a case, but still want a bit of room for their dream build. Check it out.

And, finally, don't forget our Newsletter Survey. We want to know if we can make this a more useful little tool for our readers, so let us know what we can do. As usual, you'll find all these stories - and more - below.

That's it for now, see you next week! Oh! Before we forget, Atomic's halfway through its onsale run, so if you don't want to miss out on the issue 100 Collector's Issue, and the exclusive Forum Avatar poster, rush out before it sells out - bye!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
