This lan made my mind up... I am buying a Laptop as soon as one of the new G73Jh-A2's comes into stock on new egg. I am sick of carrying my beast of a machine around. I will just make a screen saver of it for LANS and use the laptop.

You will not!

I'll have some surprises around the corner for some smaller form factor LAN machines... keep an eye on the staff forums.

I'd be nice to replace mine with something that could at least play UT3 on low settings.  Mine is barely good enough to play WoW with around 20 FPS.  I can still play things like Fable I, Diablo II, Battlefield 1942 on it, which is plenty good enough for me when I'm out and about.

Have any of you attended the East Coast LAN (ECL) that was run for a number of years in Virginia Beach?  I used to frequent until it died due to staff infighting.  I learned the hard way that I needed to go to great lengths to secure my machine before I left to attend.  The FIRMWARE of one of my hard drives was affected.

Despite several reformats, the CPU was locked at 100% usage as long as the Windows was running.  I replaced the hard drive and never had that problem again.

That's weird.  Never heard of that happening before.  Of course then again I had a drive that would run with a clean install for 2 weeks and then start producing ran blue screens every now and again.  I swapped the drive with a different spare and it worked fine after that.  Go figure.

I was wondering if any more pictures of the 200 LAN are going to be posted.  I see there is about 85 ATM and was wondering if there will be more.

At the same time, I don't remember as many camera flashes this year compared to last year's LAN.

Year... I hate that word when paired with FITES LAN.  It's too looooong!  Come on guys, every six months.  You can do it :)
