Atomic Live 2005

Have you ever read about a tradeshow or LAN party and thought to yourself "I wish there was something like that near me"? We recently reported on the world's largest computer festival, DreamHack Winter 2005, held in Sweden. June is the traditional time for Computex in Taiwan and the largest of them all is Cebit, held every year in March in Hannover, Germany.

Britain has the Multiplay i-Series, and our American readers are spoilt for choice, with the famous Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in May, the World Cyber Games 2004 finals in San Francisco, various CPL events and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from which we will be reporting from live in just a few weeks' time. However, for our Australian readers, there hasn't really been a major show where they can check out the latest hardware, mods and games. Until now.

Atomic Live 2005 was held last week at the former Fox Studios in Sydney. The event was so named because it was organised by Atomic Magazine - the top Aussie enthusiast mag for hardware and modding. It is the equivalent of Maximum PC in the US, and Custom PC magazine in Europe. This first one-day event held much promise. It was the first chance to play Xbox 360 before it is released Down Under in March 2006, grill the Atomic team in a Q&A session, learn about dual-core and 64-bit computing in the AMD keynote presentation, and of course, lots of cool prize giveaways.
