Hey all,

Atomic Con was last weekend, held at Monash University (Caulfield Campus).
A bunch of hardware vendors were in attendance, including: AVeRMedia, Tt eSPORTS, Thermaltake, GIGABYTE, Corsiar, Western Digital and Antec.

Throughout the whole day, all attendee's were able to play Skyrim, RAGE and other games on all vendor's PC's, listen to talks from each of the companies about their latest hardware and of course, win prizes.



Tt eSPORTS flew one of their Sequential SC2 players in to play against the public where you got a free 'mini dasher' mouse pad just for having a go, if you managed to beat him (only one did), there was a bunch of Tt eSPORTS items to take your pick of.

One challenger on the day decided to take a Vlog of him playing about SQLTt.yang. Because he was new to the game, SQL's SC2 manager (InFeZa) helped him out with some on the spot coaching.

As far as the technology talks go, Tony (Sent1nel) was there from Team Immunity to talk about the new range of GIGABYTE Motherboards suited to Intels new x79 chip, corsair talked about their new gaming peripheral ranges and I had a chat about Tt eSPORTS and Thermaltake.

There isn't too much more to say from my perspective of the event, below I have linked some other write-up's that have been done so you can have a look through those as well for more information.
Atomic have said they want to do something like this again next year, possibly in Melbourne of Sydney. Australia doesn't really have any technological shows like CeBIT in Germany and Computex in Taiwan, so it's good to see some companies taking the initiative and putting on a show for the public.
The more you guys (the gamers) support these events, the more you get out of it and the more often they happen!
