If you are signing up for the Guitar Hero event, just bring yourself, and we supply the rest.

If you are signing up for the LAN party (or both events) please bring the following:

POWER BAR - This is extremely important. Forgetting this is basically the ticket to frustration. A surge suppressor (a good one, not one of those $10 jobs) is highly recommended, and a UPS is even better.
 
COMPUTER WITH NETWORK CARD - Of course, without the computer, you'll be stuck playing charades against yourself, which definitely won't be as fun as fragging your buddies.

NETWORK CABLE - You will need at least 10 feet of CAT-5 cable. Bringing 25 feet is a much safer bet.

MONITOR - Because of space restrictions, bringing anything larger than a 19" CRT or an 21" LCD is not recommended, unless you're willing to sit in a dark, musky-smelling corner all by yourself.

HEADPHONES - If everybody brought their massive Klipsch speakers or DJ rigs, then the cacophony of sound will probably drive everyone into the local insane asylum. Besides, if your opponents can hear the output of your speakers then you'll be at a disadvantage.

INPUT DEVICES - Most keyboards work pretty well, so you don't need anything special here. Having a good mouse is another story. An optical mouse is far better than any mechanical mouse, and you won't need a mouse pad. Also bring along any other devices like joysticks, gamepads, or wheels. Whatever you do, do not use wireless peripherals. Besides the slower response rate, if other people have wireless devices there may be interference problems. Or maybe your batteries will run out. Invest in a cheap corded device for your LAN gaming needs.

SOFTWARE - Remember to bring your OS, driver, and game discs. Forgetting to do so will result in much frustration, unless you have someone burn you an illegal copy. Needless to say a large crowd of gamers with loads of pirated software can invite trouble, so just remember to bring all of your own software. [Ed: We at Reality Bytes do NOT and WILL NOT endorse the use of illegal software in any way.]

MONEY - It always happens. Someone comes up to the door with a car loaded with computer gear and they forget to bring their entrance fee. Or they don't have enough money for food. Let's just say that hunger and gaming addiction do not mix. Bring enough money to cover the entire event, plus a little extra.
