This is the only thing holding me back right now.  I am trying to find a case for my new computer.  I am building a quad core with the low end 8800gts.  This means I need cooling.  But I also want it quiet.  Here's the three cases I am thinking about and why it's on the list.  I am also getting an asus motherboard that is fanless (meaning it doesn't use fans to cool the bridges).  I am also getting a modular psu so I only have the cables I need.

I'll be at the lan.  I wonder what games we will play.  I am guessing Halo 2 but I have a feeling GHII, Gears, and Forza will dominate this year.  I'm bringing my NHL 07 in hopes someone will want to try out 4 player.  I've been wanting to do that.

Will we have internet access so those of use with drm issues can play the arcade titles.  We can turn Worms into a fun drinking game :)

I picked up Quake 4 for 360 because it was 50% off at Gamestop. Damn, everything I thought was missing in the Halo 3 beta is in Quake 4. Too bad the game didn't come out later in the 360 life cycle.

Has anyone played Quake 4 multiplayer? It seems to have a party system. The bad thing about Quake 4 is it feels like Quake 2 with better graphics and Quake 3 weapons. It's old and out dated. However, the ability to do what PC gamers are use to, join into a match already in progress, is cool. I think Halo needs a mode like that.

I haven't played halo before.  I am amazed at how much info bungie stores about you.  Part of me doesn;t like it because you get to see how much I suck.  But part of me is amazed.

I am trying to figure out what you guys see in Halo.  Having not played Halo except once a couple years ago I had no clue what was going on tonight. 

I thought Halo was a run 'n gun fps.  It is SLOW.  GRAW and R6 have a much faster pace and I think those are slow.  I was expecting fast paced action like ut especially after seeing some of the videos on youtube.
How do the menus work?  Can I just start a game with a friend to learn the controls?
Why do the graphics look like ut2k4 on a pc from two years ago?
