gigabit network

We have been slowly working towards changing our network over to a full gigabit network for the last few lans. I am pleased to anounce that we have our first of 5 switches on the way. It should be here before the lan even! On top of that, oh4sho is nice enough to bring two gig switches with him, we plan on atleast giving everyone a taste of what we are looking to go to.

Of course, this is only the first of five. We will again have a few different things going on at the lan that will help contribute toward adding to our collection. Here is just a preview:

1: If you havn't already noticed on our registration. The Raffle ticket section was updated this lan. We included a stipulation that we will be handing out ONE raffle ticket for anyone who donates $10 or more toward the network fund, this is limited to a max of one per person. This is a donation only, it does not apply to tickets to the 50/50 drawing. (if you are going to take advantage of this, you must buy your ticket when you come in)

2: we will again be selling soda for 25 cents. This soda was bought by me and the money will go into the network fund.

3: We will again do a 50/50 drawing, half of the money at the end of the event will go into the network fund. The other half will go to the winner that is drawn.

4: We also picked up LanOC stickers that we will be selling for $5, also going into the network fund.


I'm looking forward to seeing everyone next week!

I would estimate that 90% of our attendees have a gig connection. Of the few that may not have it, I doubt that if you don't have gig capability's that you would need it. But as a whole, it will help prevent maxing out network connections causing slowdowns for people while sharing files and keep in game pings down

how old is your laptop?

of course we will only have legal files shared. But im glad we have everything figured out


and yes it will only show the speed that you are connected at
