Taipei,
Taiwan, R.O.C., April 23, 2004 - As a world leader in high-performance
motherboards and graphic cards, ABIT is proud to announce its new series
of Fatal1ty™ motherboards and graphics cards. These new products are a

in four-minute Fatal1ty shootouts. Challengers can win $1000 if they are
able to beat Fatal1ty and other prizes can be won for scoring points against
him.
"We are thrilled to be working with PWX, Auravision, and
Fatal1ty to bring gamers around the world the most powerful gaming system
ever devised," said ABIT Marketing Director Scott Thirlwell. "At
E304, gamers will have the chance to experience ABIT hardware that has
been tweaked and tuned by the world's number one gamer."
Auravision's gaming division signed an exclusive licensing agreement
with leading gamer and three-time World Champion Gamer from the Cyberathlete
Professional League, Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel.
Together, they will launch a new line of products for professional gamers
under the Fatal1ty brand name starting with the motherboard and graphics
card by ABIT and the Fatal1ty/PWX gaming system.
"We are very excited to be working with leading technology
companies, ABIT and PWX, to bring winning Fatal1ty gaming equipment to
gamers who demand the very best in their equipment," notes Jeff Walden,
Chairman and CEO of Auravision Inc. "At the same time, we're happy
to host an exciting event for gaming enthusiasts at E3."
About Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel
Johnathan first got involved in tournaments when he heard about a
CPL's Frag3 Tournament that took place in October 1999. He won third
there and was invited to represent the USA in Stockholm two weeks later
where he won undefeated, winning all 18 maps against the top players
in the world. He continued to dominate competitions all over the world,
including in Singapore, St. Louis, Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Korea,
Germany, Australia, Holland and Brazil, to name just a few.
At QuakeCon 2002, he faced off against his rival ZeRo4 in one of the
most highly anticipated matches of the year and ended up winning the
match in a 14-(-1) flawless victory. He went on to place third overall
in the event and fourth at the World Cyber Games USA a few months later.
To top it all off, he won CPL Pentium 4 Winter Champions in December
for Unreal Tournament 2003, a victory which netted the CPL Champion
of the Year for the third year in a row-and each year for victories
in a different game. For more information, visit www.fatal1ty.com.

About MDDM and the Pro Weapon Experience (PWX™)
MDDM's Marketing Driven Dynamic Management team is responsible for
bringing to market the Fatality/PWX FatBox™ System. MDDM, Inc. (www.mddmlabs.com),
specializes in the design, development and manufacturing management
of one of a kind electronic products.
MDDM developed several proprietary design features, such as the MagDrive™
system, JetStream™ air-cooling system and the PWX power supply format.
The first Fatal1ty PWX case is called the FatBox™, and is a unique case
design made from the finest aluminum alloy materials for light-weight
construction, better cooling and long life. MDDM also developed a specialized
and proprietary coating known as ARMRX™, which strengthens and protects
the outside of the case and is resistant to scratches. This proprietary
coating is derived from the same protective coating that is used on
the front of nuclear submarines and that coats the walls of the Pentagon
to contain bomb blasts.
The result is that the Fatal1ty FatBox™ is a unique case that will outperform
any beige box case. It is a Pro Weapon Experience that will let every
gaming competitor know that it is a serious piece of equipment.
