Location: 6 Prohasky st Port Melbourne.

Date: 12th - 14th September.

Registration: Email [email protected] to secure your seat. Seats are limited to 32. First in best dressed.

Freight: Insured fragile freight, 3 day delivery based on my fairly large mid-tower (53cm x 46cm x 24cm, 15kg) is $44 from Perth each way and $77 from Mackay each way. So if you live on the east coast and are closer than Mackay it will be much cheaper than $77. Same if you are west and closer that Perth. I would assume from SA it would be around $30. Let me know if you are interested in this option. The other option is to put your tower in a hard case and check it into fragile baggage at the airport...

Prizes: Cash, Hardware, Shirts, other random stuff.

Requirements: Your gaming rig (some pc's and monitors will be available if you can't get it there), Up to date drivers and game patches (internet won't be good enough for big downloads), Install ALL games you want to play from the list (I suggest the WHOLE COD series as there may be a COD cup), and a pillow if you want to sleep.
