It has been a great 6 years at PCGamers.net.au but we are now moving to PCTechReviews.com.au

All of our content has been migrated to PC Tech Reviews and is easier to both search and view on the updated platform.

We will be covering a wider range of products and content beyond the gaming focus of the last 6 years.

Soon this domain will be redirected so please remember that we haven't vanished - we've evolved to PCTechReviews.com.au
