ABIT Gaming at CeBIT 2006
Pro-gamer Fatal1ty comes to Hannover

Taipei, Taiwan, February 24, 2006 – CeBIT is around the corner, and the German city of Hannover braces itself for the 20th anniversary of the biggest computer and consumer electronics trade show in the world. For high-tech company ABIT, maker of enthusiast level motherboards and PC peripherals, the annual CeBIT fair has become an extremely important venue for showcasing the very latest in performance and innovation.

ABIT has a long history of not just following, but to a large extent setting the trends in the tech-savvy PC enthusiast market. While the professional gaming scene is expected to explode in 2006, ABIT has been supporting the world of eSports from the very beginning. ABIT is responsible for the world famous ACON gaming events, sponsoring the most talented teams, and working closely with Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, the world's number one professional gamer, to develop the ultimate gaming hardware platform.

To celebrate the newest range of Fatal1ty products, ABIT is bringing the world of eSports right to CeBIT's doorsteps. At CeBIT 2006, ABIT will be showcasing a number of gaming-related events, ranging from gaming seminars and workshops to shoot-outs with Mr. Fatal1ty himself. Those who dare stepping-up to meet the world's most feared gamer in a head-to-head battle will have a chance to take home some whooping ABIT prizes consisting of the very best gaming hardware the industry has to offer.

The gaming seminars hosted by Team Dignitas will highlight the successful strategies of this elite gaming team, followed by question and answer sessions, and in the ABIT gaming arena there will be plenty of opportunities for our visitors to experience competitive gaming hands-on as these pro-gamers interact with the crowd. The gaming arena will have ongoing challenges for our visitors throughout the whole show with even more prizes to be won.

"Competitive gaming is increasingly gaining acceptance as a serious sport, and the competitive attitudes of the professional players are proof of this. With prize money reaching into the millions, and some players spending up to eight hours a day in training, we've come a long way from the casual Sunday afternoon LAN-parties with your buddies", says David Jarlestedt of ABIT Computer Corporation.

ABIT Overclocking and Modding at CeBIT 2006
Bringing the extreme edge to Hannover

Last week, ABIT announced that we will be hosting a full range of events related to professional gaming, such as gaming seminars with world famous Team Dignitas, visitor challenges in the ABIT gaming arena, and head-to-head battles versus the world's highest ranking cyberathlete, Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel. Today, we are proud to reveal that extreme overclocking demos and modding workshops will join the list of CeBIT festivities.

ABIT is continuously supporting and working closely with the PC enthusiast community, making sure to bring the very best in performance to those with the most discerning needs, whether it is the professional gamers or the hardcore overclocking and modding crowd. This spring, ABIT is bringing the excitement of the entire enthusiast community to Hannover and CeBIT. In addition to the gaming activities, ABIT will host a series of interactive overclocking and modding workshops. The ABIT stage will present extreme overclocking to the MAX with seminars and contests hosted by performance champion Robert "Crotale" Kihlberg, as well as some serious customization and modding demonstrations with the expert crew from the online TV-show Mod My Machine.

"This year, we are trying to bring all the elements of the enthusiast community together at our CeBIT booth. Many people in the industry are unaware of what is going on in the world of gaming, overclocking, benchmarking and modding. We aim to provide a link between the hardware industry and the computer enthusiasts, and therefore we invite everyone with an interest in performance hardware to join our activities and share the excitement of seeing these very extreme power users push our motherboards to the MAX", says ABIT PR manager David Jarlestedt.

Apart from all these exciting activities, ABIT will of course showcase a wicked range of new motherboards, a few old favorites, and one or two unexpected surprises. Speaking of which, make sure not to miss our latest and greatest audio innovation at the ABIT Cinema!
