Well it is Friday! That means it is the weekend! Before you go out tonight make sure you check out our review of the Antec LanBoard. It is the perfect accessory if you attend LAN parties! Here is a quote from the review…

“One of the most frustrating things about going to a B.Y.O.C. (Bring your own computer) LAN event is having to carry your system from the car to the setup area. This can be particularly exhausting if the setup area is a great distance away from the entrance to the building, a prime example, PAX Prime 2010 in Seattle, with the BYOC up on the 6th level of the convention.
