I. Definition of a Lan Party

A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people together with their computers, which they network together primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games. These local area networks (LANs) come in various sizes, from very small (two people) to very large (more than 10,000 people). Small parties can form spontaneously, but large ones usually require a fair amount of planning and preparation on the part of the organizer. More here

Hi Gamers!

I'm Bree from the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce, we will be hosting the biggest LAN Party in Philippine history and would like to invite you to be the pioneers in this momentous event! I will be posting guidelines and updates regularly so please check back from time to time.

Date and Venue of the MBM LAN Party is: August 23, 2008, 10AM-10PM, CICC Plenary Hall.

For those bringing their own rigs and equipment, we will have installation the day before so you can test out your gear with the network in advance. Overnight security will be provided. Also, the CICC will lockdown when it closes so your precious gear will be safe. Also, security measures will be in place.

Hope you guys join us! Please do post your questions or comments, or email me privately and we will try to answer your questions as best as we can.

Cheers!
Bree

We will be updating the prizes soon... still finalizing with sponsors, etc.

i've heard in the istorya forums that the event is extended to 24hrs? could you confirm this please and update the original post. Thanks! i'm currently in manila but I have plans to attend said event. Very much interested.

Hi, yes, the event is now extended to 24hrs. Tentative time: 8AM August 23 to 8AM August 24. Maybe registration will be a little earlier to accomodate connections, setting up, etc.

Glad to hear you're attending! See you there!

Some slight changes also on the registration fees, will update soon! :-D

Heres the official Site for the event:
Mandaue Business Month 2008

New Official Rates:
P400 if you bring everything
additional 200 if you want to rent a 17 inch LCD monitor

If you buy your ticket and pay before August 10, 08 these will be your discounted rates:

Additional P100 if you want to rent a 17 inch LCD monitor

You can Also Rent a whole PC with Monitor there at:

P50 per hour

OR

P1,000 for 24 hours.

Take not that LCD monitor is first come first serve good while supplies last.

is there a discount for Laptop owners? I know part of the payment goes to electricity usage. Since laptops use only a fraction of power used by its desktop counterparts, do we get some sort of special discount if we bring in gaming laptops?
the One I use is only rated at max 120watts whereas a typical gaming Desktop consumes at least 300watts excluding monitor.
