Dark-Media LAN X7
DM-LAN X7 was a massive event the attendance was huge and with some great competitions such as Counter Strike Source, Unreal Tournament, DOTA, C&C 3 and Tekken 5, unfortunately not all competitions ran though due to some unfortunate problems.
Our sponsors were kind enough to donate great prizes for each competition; Counter-Strike Source winners received each a SteelSeries Experence 1-2, Unreal Tournament winner received a zBoard-Top/ATI Ruby Doll, C&C3 winner received a Thermaltake 03 Air Cleaner, DOTA winners each received an ATI T-Shirt and our lucky door prize was a 4GB USB Flash Drive.
X7 was great but we did have some power issues in the beginning but they were sorted out before the night got fully underway. The food runs went really well offering KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut & pies for hungry lanners unfortunately the LAN Cafe ran out of food during the event.

Dark-Media LAN X3
DM-LAN X3 was a huge improvement from the other lan's as expected very little technical problems during the event which made a smooth lan experience, though only one tournament went through which was a down side.
The Network was once again stable enough and with the intranet just about complete it made the whole event go smoothly from food runs to tournaments, I would have to say it worked out really well and i hope to see everyone at the next event.
Turnout: 25
Dark-Media LAN X2
DM-LAN X2 went better from our first lan, with our new and improved gigabit technology and more support from everyone, unfortunately the intranet wasn't completed in time for the lan so we had problems with pizza orders and tournaments
Other than that the lan went really well, people enjoyed the event and on the technical side, the network was extremely stable, to summarize the lan went quite well for our second attempt.
Turnout: 27
