Gaming enthusiasts and professional gamers can power up at SITEX 2019 with the latest gaming gadgets and accessories from custom gaming computer company Aftershock PC and home-grown gaming chair company Secretlab.
Dell will also be showcasing their latest Alienware Aurora Desktop R9. The new Alienware Aurora Desktop R9 is an absolute delight for gaming enthusiasts. Strengthening the “Legend” design identity, the aesthetically designed exterior, available in the two variants Lunar Light and Dark Side of the Moon, complements the powerful performance.
This latest gaming sensation comes with an unmatched thermal design that is equipped with the innovative PSU swing-arm, allowing airflow through the side vent, thereby efficiently reducing CPU temperatures to ensure a stable performance and higher overclocking— resulting in higher frames per second while gaming. For the uninterrupted and lightning speed gaming experience, the desktop also boasts enhanced network connectivity solutions.
On top of the chance to participate in digital arts workshops, attendees will also be privy to the inaugural Digital Arts and Technology Battle Arena competition. Jointly presented by EASB and SITEX, the competition seeks to attract top talent from Singapore and around the region. EASB and Lionheart Studio are offering over S$380,000 worth of study grants and scholarships at the School of Design, Media & Arts to 30 finalists across three categories: Game Design & Development, Digital Game Prototype; Digital Art Champion and the Ultimate Speed Painter Contest.
