To celebrate 100 issues of the best PC hardware, gaming and geek culture mag ever, our friends at Anyware gave us a whole heap of swag - but we're not just going to give it away.

Just through the link down there is a series of trials, challenges if you will, that will test your Atomic knowledge and solution-solving ability to the max. Follow the series of clues (some in unlikely places), as each correct answer gets you further along the path towards winning this beasty rig:
