Editor's Note
It's lonely at Atomic HQ right now.
*sadface*
It's just little old me in the office, because Justin's off gallivanting around Taiwan at this year's Computex trade show. He's being wined, dined and given access to some bleeding edge tech - the lucky bastard!
Not only has he got to check out some of the best overclockers in the world at Gigabyte's GoOC event, but he's been able to sneak some pictures of one of the sexiest PC cases we've seen in a long time - the Thermaltake Level 10.
For galleries of the event and the case - it's a stunner - check out the Hot Stories below. You'll also find an exclusive Atomic competition to get in Microsoft's GoOC event, and our unofficial game trailer of the month, for Relic's latest foray into the dark future of Warhammer 40,000.
It's a good time to be a Space Marine, apparently.
And there's a mess more good stuff besides, so make sure you check out the whole collection of news, reviews and features.
Ciao!
- David Hollingworth, Editor
