In Closing

As a Pittco staff member, and the coordinator of Iron Storm 8, I have to admit that this has been one of Pittco's most successful events. Attendence surpassed previous events by 30-40 attendees, and the energy went all night long with few breaks.

This has also been one of Pittco's large events in terms of sponsors and prizes. Aside from the nearly $2000 worth of prizes donated by sponsors, Pittco also purchased $500 of goods including a GeForce 9600GT, 22" LCD Monitor, and 4GB of DDR2 RAM to raffle off. These added prizes added to the excitement of the LAN, and most likely drew in many more attendees.

Of course, I had the best set-up at the LAN with both 22" and 20.1" widescreen monitors connected to my desktop and servers. Hey, they boosted my productivity at the LAN! As an added bonus to the LAN, don't think there were only teenage males in attendance!

In the end, Pittco's last event was a fantastic success for the organization, and a boatload of fun for the attendees! Network performance was fantastic, and there were few delays in most of the main tounrnaments. The next event is tentatively schedules for August of 2008, so stay tuned for future announcements.
