We're please to confirm the return of KustomPCs to epic.TEN next month. The UK LAN favourites, will be attending the event, bringing along the usual selection of peripherals for you to try out as well as an unhealthy amount of sugar and caffeine.

Look out for plenty of fun activities going on around the Kustom stand too, which will be located in the 'Gallery' room of the event. Keep checking the forums closer to the time for the usual list of goodies you can buy and pre-ordering arrangements.

Kustom are offering free delivery on any product to epic.SEVEN for collection at the event AND you can also get 10% off any Roccat, Ozone, Q-PAD or Tt eSPORTS products simply by entering the code 'EPICLAN' at checkout!

Go and checkout the products in store now!

The Kustom Shop List for epic.SIX is now available, detailing all of the shiny things you'll be able to buy at the LAN. The Kustom shop will be open from Thursday evening through to late Saturday/early Sunday.

As always, you will also be able to order other items from www.kustompcs.co.uk and select the "Pickup from epic.SIX" delivery option to get free delivery to the event for any items not included in the list.

We have another sponsorship announcement for you, and this time, we're proud to say we've achieved the impossible by getting a Scotsman to buy the drinks!

So at epic.SIX, we can confirm that as well as attending with their famous LAN shop, Kustom will be sponsoring the boat race, literally by getting the drinks in for the participants. So all you'll need to do is take part in the boat race!

The boat race is the ultimate test of the gamer. Two teams face off, each armed with a pint of their chosen (alcoholic) beverage. When the race starts, the first two opposing team members start their drink and as soon as the glass is empty it is placed upturned on the participants head, at this point the next team member starts their drink and it continues down the line until the whole team has finished their drinks.

The boat race will take place in the evening on the Saturday of the event after the quiz.

This year's online hunt will start at 12 noon on Saturday 18th December for Round 1, the second round will begin at 12 noon on Sunday 19th December and there will be a head start for the first few players to complete round 1.

A series of teaser questions will be available from 6pm Friday 17th December which must be completed before you can access the main questions.

You can now sign up to the hunt as follows:

1. Create or log in to your epic.LAN Account
2. Go to the Hunt Online site using this link which will automatically log you in.
3. Or if you have an epic.LAN account already, you can log in straight away at hunt.epiclan.co.uk using your normal epic.LAN account details.  
4. That's It! You're ready to start playing from 6pm on the 17th.

We're very pleased to confirm that UK LAN favourites, Kustom will be bringing along their LAN stall for your enjoyment and convenience at the epic.FIVE LAN Party in February 2011.

Not only will you get to have a look at the Kustom shop, but you'll also be entertained with a range of random games, and we're fairly certain to see another Armagetron marathon with plenty of wacky and wonderful game modes.

If you haven't grabbed your epic.FIVE seat, then book now to make sure you don't miss out on some of the great activities planned for the event!

Once again Kustom will be joining us for some fun, games and general sugary badness at epic.FOUR this July.
