Welcome to the first Atomic newsletter for 2007! As I’m sure you’re well aware, there’s a truckload of competitions to enter on the site.

We went into the Christmas break with a record 15 competitions on the site. Quite amazing. There’s a few choice comps up now you shouldn’t miss, especially the remarkable Supreme Commander PC.

Photos of this stunning mod went on the site yesterday, check them out. Master modder Defyant has built a simply stunning work of art, and it’s specced to kill, including two Samsung screens.

Gotta be in it to win it, etc etc. Seriously, someone’s gotta win this thing, dreams come true, it’s true.

Here’s hoping the holiday bliss stays with you well into the working year.
