NZXT's 'Bunker' Helps Protect Your Peripherals at a LAN

[Tharic-Nar]

Of all the events that exist on this earth, LAN parties could be considered the most fun. There's nothing quite like getting together with a huge group of friends and a bunch of people you don't know and geek out for an entire weekend, drinking energy drinks and sharing laughs. What's not so funny though, is coming back to your PC after a washroom break to see your peripherals missing.

I still think the PCI slot cover that comes with my CM Storm Sentinel Advance is a better solution, especially when coupled with a case that allows you to lock the side panel.

Doesn't help with wireless devices or non USB based headsets either.... Still, it's better than nothing, providing you have an easily accessible drive bay to put it.... and the devices USB ports aren't the super-sized variety.

Wireless devices you can take with you. Backpack 'em. As for non-USB devices, use the rear audio connectors because you can still run it through the same PCI cover.

Not many Backpacks can take a full sized gaming keyboard... i've tried, lol. Never too keen on wiretraps either, cables aren't meant to be knotted and wrapped around small bits of metal repeatedly. There isn't much security to be honest in any system, you might as well just carry the stuff around or go with a friend and take turns watching each other's gear.... between frag sessions on course...

I just don't go to LAN parties. The sun burns my pastey, geek-ridden skin.

"Geek-ridden?"

It's so depressing that people can't just be trustworthy. You can't leave anything anywhere.

At work, if I leave my PC unlocked, what do I find when I get back? The screen orientation flipped upside down and/or a half-naked man as my wallpaper. They never get tired of that crap.

You sound like you work where I do. Ahh, Saint John. Land of smelly smells that smell and call centers that stretch as far as the eye can see.

 

[OriginalJoeCool]

Yup, that pretty much covers it.

alright that looks really cool. Something I might consider getting

Oddly enough, I received one of these things in the mail the same day I posted this. Perhaps Ryan can come over and take it and give some of his first-hand opinions in this thread!
