[size=30]I called Delta...it is OK to carry on your desktop pc so long as it meets the measurement requirements. You can only carry on one thing...so you will have to figure out how to pack your monitor with your pc[/size][/b]
Beer has some extra monitors that he said we can use (those of us that are flying). This really helps. Ive already claimed the 19’’ lcd. I asked that he reserve one of the 17’’ lcd’s for Seagul if he wants it. Beer can list the others that he has.
Here are some websites for luggage:

If not, no biggy, but it sure would make it interesting. We could have some tournaments to win the gear. Im buying my tickets in the next day or two! For those who have never been to a LAN or are a bit uneasy about the idea, I can speak from experience (ive been to all 5 total including the golf-n-lans) that they are a blast and very comfortable. It isnt weird at all...seriously. I encourage everyone to come. This is a once in a year thing.
PS. Since this is at Beer's place, he makes up the rules on who gets to come or not.
