Hey folks,

Righty oh then, the countdown is on to our last Test BYOPC (Bring Your Own PC) LAN THIS Saturday and Sunday, September 3rd and 4th.

As already stated, the event itself will be kicking off at around 1pm in the Venue and will continue through the night until around 3pm on Sunday. There will be a whole host of things going on from file sharing and nice fast web access to the most important part, gaming! We'll be playing a whole selection of games from Battlefield 2, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament to Rome: Total War and of course the venerable Counter-Strike.

We have a few places left so if you want to come please let us know as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment.

Now the final particulars for those who are coming...

1. Please mail us your full name and student number as soon as possible.

2. Make sure you have all the latest updates for your facvourite games so we don't need to waste time downloading patches, this also includes STEAM.

3. Make sure and bring network cable with you.

4. Please bring any power extension cords you have, the more the merrier really.

5. If you need a monitor please confirm this by mail as soon as possible.

6. *VERY IMPORTANT* Make sure and disable all shared connections and Windows shares and turn off "Automatic IP address" on any LAN connections.

Now thats everything. I must stress the importance of replying to this mail asap for those that are coming. The sooner we get your info the more prepared we can be before you guys arrive. Also having all of the above done with your own PCs will ensure the LAN gets up and running asap and there are no unnecessary delays.

Looking forward to seeing all you guys there!
