FAQ's

A BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) LAN party is an event where gamers bring their PC, monitor, peripherals, and gear to play together on a high-speed local network. It's all about low-latency gaming, community, and the joy of being in the same room with other players.

Each attendee is allotted enough power for a single gaming PC + one monitor.

To keep things safe and stable for everyone:

• Avoid high-draw setups like dual-GPU rigs or space heaters.
• If you're unsure about your power usage, test your system at home under load.

Each seat includes table space, power, and a wired network port. You should bring:

• Your chair (optional but recommended)
