They are used, but still in great condition, one does have a little area in the top left about half the size of a dime that the color of the pixles is off, they still render the image its just more yellow then the rest.

I was thinking like 200obo for both?

They have 4 inputs VGA, DVI-D, Composite, svideo and a usb hub built in.]]>

I was also impressed how well that Sureshot played De_season and how E.10 took down the reigning champions. I'm looking forward to the next competition at Geex.

The TF2 tournament was also a lot of fun. It was actually nice having two people on my team who knew what they were doing (Ber and RonNation). They just told us what to do and we did it. :-) I liked the change of the 8v8 format, but I also thought it had its challenges (see below).

Possible areas for improvement:
#1. I think once you start a tournament you should play until completion without any major breaks. When we made the TF2 finals we had to wait about 4-5 hours to play in our final match. Most of us were ready to leave a few hours before that, and were pushed back with the breaks for the costume contest, mountain dew, trackmania, etc. Anyway, I think this is relatively minor but I think the tournament players would appreciate this structure because some people are only staying for the tournaments.

#2. 8v8 vs 6v6 for tf2. I am a TF2 noob and I will openly admit it. The only time I play the game is for lans. Anyway, after talking with RonNation(TF2 Pro) no serious leagues play 8v8. Although, we had a fun time playing that format, and prepared accordingly, I think it has some challenges. 8v8 is more tactical while 6v6 is traditional. I also think some of the teams had a hard time fielding 8. I think for geex the TF2 tournament should move back to 6v6. Just my two cents.

Anyway, Great job on the LAN. I know they are a lot of work to coordinate, plan, setup, etc. I know Karma had a great time and we appreciate all the hard work you guys put in!!!!]]>

If you are interested in participating, please reply in this thread. Also listen for some type of announcement at the LAN.

I thank you, and my future gamer daughter thanks you.

I wasn't really sure where this post belongs so I put it here. I guess a Mod can move it if they feel it belongs in another section.]]>
