Saturday, March 27th from 10:00am-10:00pm

Local LAN party organizers The BoxHeads will be running this event. As it did last year, the LAN party will take over half the ballroom for maximum excellence.

What's a LAN party?

A now-defunct web site answered this best when they wrote:

In brief, a LAN Party is a gathering of people who all bring their computers, play video games together on a network, and eat nachos. The first thing people (usually parents or spouses) immediately ask is: Why would you want to do that? A computer is an expensive (and heavy) piece of precision electronics, one whose performance is negatively impacted by the accidental introduction of nacho cheese in the open CDRom drawer. But the fact is, a LAN Party is the most fun you can have with your machine.

What do I need to bring?

Here is what you will need to bring to participate:

1. Your network-ready computer with all the games you want to play installed and patched to the latest versions
2. Your monitor, mouse, cables and any peripherals you may need
3. Headphones (leave your speakers at home)
4. A network cable at least 20 feet long
5. The install media for the games you want to play (if applicable)

What games will be played?

Whatever people want to play. You are welcome to sign up on The BoxHeads site and post your suggestions in the appropriate thread.
