FYI - I just pulled the trigger on my BYOC registration (quite happy about that!). Once that was done, I immediately tried to register my girlfriend, and apparently they're now sold out...
According to the list there is still about 50 seats, so I would try again, since she won't be able to be in the BYOC with you unless she is also registered.

I replied to you on twitter as well. There are 49 tickets left so you should be able to get a seat no problem.

Hm. The site is still showing "The ticket you have selected is sold out." when you click Continue Registration. I submitted a support ticket, just in case.

FYI: Barcodes will be emailed to you guys on the 22nd when BYOC Reg gets closed. This typically has gone out sooner since BYOC has always sold out, but first year at east and all...
anyway YOU NEED TO PRINT THIS OUT AND BRING IT WITH YOU TO PAX WHEN YOU CHECK INTO BYOC!
There will be a small desk near the security desk (or at the security desk if you arent getting there before opening on friday) where you turn this in ALONG WITH PHOTO ID to get your Orange BYOC badge that lets you into the BYOC room.
So this probably isnt going out until the 22nd when BYOC Reg gets closed, but I got permission to post it here now for general info purposes. I was told It *might* change slightly by the time it gets emailed to you guys but it will be 99% the same.

After the LAN closes we lock the doors, and seal the room so even Ninja's (well American Ninja's, those Chinese Ninja's are a little trickier) can't get in.
While we will make every attempt to keep all equipment in the room secure, do be aware that there is little we can do to prevent ipods, portable game consoles, cd's, big wads of cash, and other small items from walking off.

I never was sent the Intel BYOC email receipt, but I am completely paid up and on the attendee list. What now?
Just bought a BYOC slot for PAX East on the GeForce LAN web site. Already paid, and received a confirmation email.
I can't arrive at PAX East with my computer until about 3:30pm on Friday, which is an hour and a half after the show opens. Will the BYOC room still hold my space, even though I'm arriving late?
Sorry if this question was asked before -- I couldn't find this question asked previously. Thanks!

You can check in anytime you want. The early check in option is for people who want to get their computers set up before PAX opens so they don't miss anything.
Are laser pointers permitted on convention grounds? I don't want my friend in trouble... I assume it's no.
http://www.paxsite.com/paxeast/faqs.php#faq12 Can I bring my nerf gun/lightsaber/other weird thing?
Don't bring anything that would annoy another attendee or set us up for a crazy lawsuit. PAX East is not an event run by some giant corporate entity; it's a big party we throw for the gaming community in general and PA readers in particular. Have fun, but be cool, and please leave your airsoft/paintball guns at home!
I can't think why you would need it, except to annoy people, or disrupt a video presentation...so probably not a good idea. Too many people in a cramped space to be playing with lasers.
three quick questions.
1. headphones only or can i bring my speakers
2. any offical listing of tournys atm
3. as long as i made a account for a seat can i still pay later than the 22nd or if the money isn't in by tomorrow i'm screwed?

Very nice, looks good! Do the knobs do anything on front?
Thanks!
I was trying to put power/reset in the front, using the original knobs. I ended up with acrylic case feet with LEDs in them as replacements, and haven't figured out a compromise yet. The power is on the side now, alongside the relocated monitor controls.
Truthfully, I rushed to get this done, and I'm unhappy with how the side panel (not pictured) came out; version 1.5 is going to need some work.
Ha! I thought they looked familiar! I just added them to my mod but I'm using them as case feet . I have an idea to make the original knob be a power button I can pm if your interested. I understand about the rush I'm painting my mod right now lol. I should have pics up of it final tomorrow
My current designs (Theyre in the sketching phase, and Ijust have the case idea not the components) for either a Roman inspired design with faux marble pillars, or a super victorian/steampunk looking computer, or a nuclear family 50's style computer.
I rock at cases, its building the insidey parts I need to learn.
Uh, I just noticed as I was getting ready to print off everything I need. The confirmation email says that they will be emailing me the barcode two days before PAX. I'll already be there by then, so I won't have the ability to print out my barcode.

For the BC2 tourny, do we need a whole team, or only a whole squad?

I can't arrive at PAX East with my computer until about 3:30pm on Friday, which is an hour and a half after the show opens. Will the BYOC room still hold my space, even though I'm arriving late?
Sorry if this question was asked before -- I couldn't find this question asked previously. Thanks!

Can I bring my nerf gun/lightsaber/other weird thing?
Don't bring anything that would annoy another attendee or set us up for a crazy lawsuit. PAX East is not an event run by some giant corporate entity; it's a big party we throw for the gaming community in general and PA readers in particular. Have fun, but be cool, and please leave your airsoft/paintball guns at home!
I can't think why you would need it, except to annoy people, or disrupt a video presentation...so probably not a good idea. Too many people in a cramped space to be playing with lasers.

I am now in Boston (as of yesterday). Running off of my laptop so responses to PMs will be slightly delayed.
Welcome to our fair state, enjoy today's unseasonal weather because tomorrow is gonna be a lot more seasonal.

I was trying to put power/reset in the front, using the original knobs. I ended up with acrylic case feet with LEDs in them as replacements, and haven't figured out a compromise yet. The power is on the side now, alongside the relocated monitor controls.
Truthfully, I rushed to get this done, and I'm unhappy with how the side panel (not pictured) came out; version 1.5 is going to need some work.
I rock at cases, its building the insidey parts I need to learn.

My Hotel is The Lenox its right down the street from the hynes, so you have an idea of location.
Maybe there's a Copymax/Kinkos nearby?
